The football club Fortuna Sittard is in the Netherlands not Switzerland (16th September)

Galileo could not have discovered the Saturn's Ring System in 1670, he lived from 1564 to 1642! The discovery was made in 1610.
George I was not the first King of modern Greece, he succeeded Otto I who was deposed in October 1862. Otto was the second son of King Louis I of Bavaria. Also George came to the throne in 1863 not 1864 (22nd September)

The first nuclear powered vessel was a submarine (Nautilus 1954) not an ice-breaker (Lenin 1957) - the question should have referred to a 'surface' ship.
Mount Parnassus as well as Mount Helicon should have been included as the answer to the question about the home of the Muses. The Roman poets favoured Parnassus over Mt. Helicon as the home of the Muses (this is the third occurence in recent seasons of this omission!)
'The Country Girl' for which Grace Kelly won her Best Actress Oscar was a 1954 not 1956 film
The real name of Errol Flynn was Errol Leslie Thomson Flynn - NOT just Leslie Thomson.

It is correct that the play "I Am a Camera" and the film "Cabaret" were based on Christopher Isherwood's 'Goodbye to Berlin' but the way the question was worded John van Druten, who wrote the play and upon whose work the film was based, should have been accepted as an alternative answer.
(30th September)

The River Wye as well as the Severn has its source on Plynlimmon.
The title Tony Benn renounced was Viscount Stansgate not Lord Stansfield! (7th October)

Gustave Mahler's life story is not the basis of the book and film ' Death in Venice'. Thomas Mann was supposedly inspired to write 'Death in Venice' after seeing the composer Gustav Mahler break down in tears on the train departing Venice. However. the central character in the book is the fictional professor Von Aschenbach, who leaves his native Germany for a holiday in Venice. (13th October)
More than one artist painted 'The Birth of Venus'. The best known is that by Botticelli to be found in the Uffizi Gallery, Florence. For example, works by Poussin and Rubens also have the same title.
The Prince Eugen which accompanied the Bismarck in the Atlantic in 1941 was a heavy cruiser not a battleship.
The final Apollo mission, Apollo 18, which saw the first link up of US and Russian astronauts was in 1975 not 1974. (14th October)

Although the Netherlands had the world's first national airline (KLM established 1919) it is doubtful that it was the first to offer a scheduled passenger air service. Germany had an airship service as its first airline, considered also by many as the world's first passenger airline. On November 16, 1909, German entrepreneurs created a company named DELAG (Deutsche Luftschiffahrt Aktien Gesellschaft). The company used one of the large airships built by Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin. The early DELAG flights, between 1910 and 1914, and then after World War I, between 1919 and 1921, cost passengers between 100 and 200 reichsmarks. There is also a claim that the world’s first schedule airline service was inaugurated in 1916 by Benoist Airlines from Tampa to St. Petersburg, Florida.
It was incorrect to state that the citizens of Washington DC voted in a Presidential election for the first time in 1976. The Twenty-third Amendment (1961) to the Constitution gave them that right.

Although the internet abbreviation URL could at one time stand for Universal Resource Locator, Uniform Resource Locator is the established current usage. (21st October)

The Tivoli Gardens in Rome predate those in Copenhagen and therefore Rome should have been included as an acceptable alternative answer.
Because the word 'final' was missing from the question about the nationality of the Liverpool goalkeeper who played in the 2003 Worthington Cup, English as well as Polish (Jerzy Dudek) was an acceptable answer. Chris Kirkland featured in earlier rounds.
(27th October)
'The Play What I Wrote' is a tribute to a comedy duo (Morecambe and Wise) not a trio!
Captain Bligh reached East Timor in 1789 not 1798.
KNO3 is Potassium Nitrate - often used as a fertiliser. It is not gunpowder! (28th October)

The omission of the word 'athletics' from two questions about the Olympics produced two ridiculous questions. Whereas Merlene Ottey has won more Olympic medals than any other female athlete, Larissa Latynina, the Soviet gymnast won 15 individual medals plus a further 3 in team events, the most by any competitor in the history of the Olympics. Although Steve Backley has won medals at three Olympics he is not the only British man to do so. There are several who won medals at three (or more) Olympic Games. From rowing alone there is Redgrave, Pinsent and Jack Beresford. (4th November)

Whereas the common cold is the most infectious disease prevalent in the UK, there are plenty of references to malaria as being the most prevalent world-wide.
Mistress Quickly is not one of the title characters in The Merry Wives of Windsor - they are Mistress Ford and Mistress Page
The Boys Brigade was founded in Glasgow in 1883 but the Boy Scout Movement was not founded there in 1908. There was the experimental camp in 1907 at Brownsea Island and scouting's first manual was both written and illustrated by Baden-Powell in 1908. Scouting HQ appear to have been established in London from the outset. The confusion in the questioner's mind may have arisen because there are competing claims as to which was the first troop established, one of which was Glasgow in January 1908 - a counter claim for a Birkenhead troop lists an earlier date in January of the same year. (10th November)
"American Pie" was NOT the name of the plane in which Buddy Holly and others died in 1959. It had no name just a number - N3794N. In 1999 Don McLean said 'American Pie was not the name of the plane, it is a term I created'.
Agatha Christie's 'Postern of Fate' was published in 1973 not 1978. Although it was the last novel written by her it was not the last published. Two ‘last books’ were written in the war years and consigned to her solicitor's safe to appear after her death as Curtain: Hercule Poirot's Last Case in 1975 and as Sleeping Murder in 1976, which contained the final appearance of Miss Marple.

Toronto is a Canadian city not a province - it is in the Province of Ontario

Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei rules his tiny realm from the world's largest residential palace built on the edge of the Borneo jungle.

The violet, carnation, primrose are associated with the star sign Aquarius as well as the daffodil.

Ann Ashurst was not the last winner of Mastermind. After Magnus Magnusson retired as QM in 1997, the programme transferred to Radio 4 with Peter Snow as QM for three years (1998-2000). The winner in 2000 was Stephen Follows. The show then for one year only appeared on the Discovery Channel with Clive Anderson as QM. On that occasion (2001) it was won by Michael Penrice who therefore, strictly speaking, was the last winner prior to the show's revival on BBC2 in 2003 with John Humphries as QM and Andy Page as series winner.

It cannot be stated definitively that the Battle of Britain ended in October 1940. The Battle of Britain was essentially won by mid-September, when the invasion was postponed indefinitely, but additional air raids were organized throughout the winter, with a lull in February 1941 and a final flare-up in March and April.

A pannikin can be a little pan or saucer as well as a small metal cup (8th December)
Portrait painter is not the only answer to 'what is a limner?' For example it can also mean a painter on paper or parchment.
The computer term TWAIN does not mean 'Technology Without An Interesting Name' (an amusing term that has been applied to what some people thought was an acronym). The TWAIN initiative was launched in 1992 when a need was recognised for a standard means of communication between image capture devices (i.e scanners, digital cameras,etc.) and the applications (computer programs) used to manipulate and view the captured images. It is in fact not an abbreviation at all, but rather taken from a Kipling quote ("never the twain shall meet") and capitalised to make it more distinctive. (9th December)

Brunhilde as well as Freya is often given as the leader of the Valkyries.
Grand Canyon is in Arizona not Colorado.
The question about Olympian Eddie Eagan was badly phrased and contained an inaccuracy. Firstly the wording suggested that all competitors who had won medals at both winter and summer Olympics had done so in bobsled and boxing. Secondly there are four not three competitors who have achieved this feat. The full list of competitors and their sports is as follows:- Eddie Eagan, USA - Light Heavyweight Boxing gold (1920) and Four-man Bobsled gold (1932). Jacob Tullin Thams, Norway - Ski Jumping gold (1924) and 8-metre Yachting silver (1936). Christa Luding-Rothenburger, East Germany - Speed Skating gold at 500 meters (1984) and 1,000m (1988), silver at 500m (1988) and bronze at 500m (1992) and Match Sprint Cycling silver (1988). Luding-Rothenburger is thus the only athlete to ever win medals in both Winter and Summer Games in the same year (1988). Clara Hughes, Canada, won two bronze medals in cycling in 1996. In 2002, she won a bronze medal in speed skating. (15th December)
The Wood Buffalo National Park (Canada) straddling the border between North-West territories and Alberta covers 44,807 square kilometres but it is not the world's largest National Park. It is dwarfed by the North East Greenland National Park which covers 972,000 square kiolometres (16th December)

Felixstowe was the last place in England not Britain to be invaded. There was a French invasion near Fishguard in 1797.
The spare question about Rococo was dodgy as well - apart from mistaking William 2nd for William 3rd! Rococo was style of 18th-century painting and decoration characterized by lightness, delicacy, and elaborate ornamentation. The Rococo period corresponded roughly to the reign (1715-1774) of Louis XV of France. (20th January)

Lichfeld and Truro Cathedrals have three not two spires. (2nd February)
