Thursday news quiz: Dachshunds, Dave Ball, drag acts and data disasters

Test yourself on topical news trivia, pop culture and general knowledge every Thursday. How will you fare?

Once upon a time the Thursday quiz got into a spat online with someone complaining that featuring the official dog of the quiz was irksome and twee. Look away now, sir – because it’s one of everybody’s favourite weeks of the year: Willow week! Our adorable but very naughty miniature dachshund has 15 vaguely topical and general knowledge questions in store, each accompanied by a cute picture of herself. There are no prizes, but you can let us know how you got on in the comments. Allons-y!
