Hangman (Part 3)

What is the title of the world’s longest running soap opera.

Guiding Light - it ran for seventy-two years apparently.

If it’s right, give it to Leia as she’s done all of the work.

ruthio · 20 February 2018 18:34

Right question but still wrong answer!

Do you need a clue?

Leia · 20 February 2018 18:36

Yes please.

ruthio · 20 February 2018 18:37

Clue: listen…

Tezza · 20 February 2018 19:06

The Archers

ruthio · 20 February 2018 19:21

The American soap Guiding Light ran for 72 years but was taken off the air after only 15,762 episodes, whereas The Archers broadcast its 16,300th episode in 2011 and is still going strong as the world’s longest-running soap which has aired over 18,500 episodes

Leia · 20 February 2018 19:27

Well done Tezza

Tezza · 20 February 2018 19:53

The success is yours Leia. You solved the question. The answer was the easy bit.

Leia · 20 February 2018 20:31

That’s generous of you Tezza but I’ll let Ruthio decide the winner I wouldn’t have thought of a radio soap opera but of course it’s right.

ruthio · 20 February 2018 21:13

Oh heck!!!

I thought Tango had guessed the question hours ago when she posted Coronation Street, but shes long gone!

And Tezzas offline…so you go next Leia please, you havent set one for a while

Leia · 20 February 2018 21:16

OK thanks, I will set one tomorrow.

Last_Tango · 20 February 2018 21:54

Sorry, Ruthio - I had to go out immediately after my guess but, to be perfectly honest, I would never have got the correct answer as I would only have been concentrating on TV soaps.
Thanks for setting the clue.

ruthio · 20 February 2018 22:35

Hi Tango
Glad youre ok with the decision.
Oh, the weight of responsibility!! :shock:

Better luck next time.

Last_Tango · 20 February 2018 22:41

Ruthio - can you clarify something for me please -

This was only my second time viewing this thread. Having guessed what the question was, should I have entered the question before giving my answer. I didn’t do so because I was sure I had guessed the clue, but unsure I had the correct answer and wanted to let others have the opportunity of taking it further?

Your advice, please.

Leia · 21 February 2018 08:50
