And our very own "Ken Barr" was a semi-finalist on Mastermind back in the 80s !

..and at least one Crystal Palace fan has won university challenge.

There are so many crap quiz shows on TV. That one with the heartbeats and violins on atm is bound to get cancelled.

"IQ Test: If you have 1 bucket with 2 gallons and 1 bucket with 4 gallons, how many buckets you got? "

From the movie 'Idiocracy'.

Quiz shows...you've basically got 'Mastermind' then, apart from Eggheads, everything else is either Mastermind for idiots or format dominated excuses for presenters to show off. I blame The Weakest Link but it probably started with 'Take your Pick' 50 odd years ago.

Pointless is an interesting quandry, as whilst its clearly not 'highbrow cerebal' material, it is exceptionally difficult to do well at.

Technically Mastermind isn't that difficult, given its a specialist subject chosen by the participant. It just seems very difficult because we know f**k all about it (And the more specialised you can make the subject, the easier it is to 'cram for'). The general knowledge round isn't too difficult.

University Challange however really is quite hard. One of the most stunning moments of my life was when a drug dealer / friend was round our flat, and Uni challange was on, he answered all bar two questions right on the entire episode (starters and questions), for both sides.

Arguably he set the bar very high for wasted talent.

Brain of Britain is the best. It's like university challenge without paxman's attitude.

 


...we must expand...get more pupils...so that the knowledge will spread...

When talking TV quizzes the HOL inexorably moves towards Only Connect and Victoria Coren, the HOL posh pin up girl, so I might as well move straight to the point.

I would and would and would again....


Literally only clicked on this thread to mention Coren and her sumptious breasts.

What a woman.

Hoof Hearted 01 Apr 15 4.51pm

I like Tuesday nights....

University Challenge at 8pm BBC2 followed by Only Connect.

Sadly OC ended last week and UC has only got 2 shows to go.

I also like Eggheads and Pointless, but they are not nearly as challenging, but as entertaining in a light hearted way.
