QUIZZERS in Colchester have raised hundreds of pounds for a cancer charity after putting their knowledge of a hit television programme to the test.

The Film, TV and Music Quiz event took place at Three Wise Monkeys, in the High Street, in aid of Cancer Research UK.

During the evening brainy teams were asked questions about the American comedy-drama series Sex and the City and Sarah Jessica Parker.

The group which came out on top was The Ex Wives of Mr Big with a score of 113.5 out of a possible 130 points.

In total the event raised £128 for the cancer charity, bringing the overall total raised by the initiative in its history to a staggering £78,938.

A spokesman for the Film, TV and Music Quiz said: “Thank you to everyone who attended the Sex And The City quiz at Three Wise Monkeys in Colchester.

“I really enjoyed writing and hosting this quiz, despite having to actually sit through the entire show and two films to write it.

“I hope to see you all at future quizzes. Thanks again.”
