Whoops, that was an input mistake. I've corrected it to 1979–90 (Thatcher was Prime Minister until 1990, not 1989). Thanks for pointing out!

Nice quiz, this one must take a ton of practice to get 100%. For some reason I find most UK prime ministers before Attlee far less memorable than US presidents, even though I'm British.

Indeed; I tried to make things slightly easier by accepting both their 'noble' names (if they have one) and common names.

Love the quiz. Got 100% but only because I know the names and these are in order. I think that a random slideshow quiz would make it far more challenging. I certainly wouldn't get 100% on that!!

Many thanks for your time and effort in making the quiz. Much appreciated.

Nice to see a Blackadder fan amongst the comments.

Got 100% just in time to do it all again tomorrow.

The toffs might have stopped running the country directly, but don’t be fooled. The entirety of British politics is an elaborate piece of theatre designed to distract the public from the truth - that regardless who the puppets out front are, power remains where it has always resided.

Down with the crown!

Also, a randomised version of this quiz would be awesome…
