Round one: Literature
Quizzer and comedian Paul Sinha and his audience join together to compile a perfect pub quiz, this week on the theme of literature.
The problem with quizzes is that the same questions keep coming up, like 鈥淲hat鈥檚 the name of the only member of ZZ Top without a beard?鈥*. So the more quizzes you do, the more predictable they get. Luckily, here comes quizzer, comedian and Rose d鈥橭r winner Paul Sinha with his series, Paul Sinha鈥檚 Perfect Pub Quiz. In each episode he invites the audience to tell him their favourite quiz questions, before offering up not just different and surprising questions, but also the fascinating stories behind the answers.
This week's show is full of questions for the Literature Round of the quiz. Paul asks about the first work of sci-fi to depict a flight to the moon, an author's curiously-labelled filing cabinet and the best-selling British writer still alive at the time of recording. The audience, meanwhile, contribute questions about unusual verbs, literary hotels, and the works of Eric Morecambe.
It鈥檚 facts, jokes, stories and puns 鈥 just the way you like them.
