QuizList

No new quizzes, but the site is updated with the ones I previously received.  And there is a contestant call for TV quiz  ‘Only Connect’, which I actually can’t claim to be able to identify.  Mail me if you want the details.

Of course, a liking for pub quizzes is not usually synonymous with a liking for TV quizzes.  I tend to find the latter a bit annoying – usually it’s a toss-up as regards who is the smuggest and most annoying, the contestant or the QM, and I would struggle to think of a TV quiz with really interesting questions.

That said, ’1 versus 100′ has a good format and has translated well to quiz machine territory.  No doubt you all have your favourites also, but there are many which are just pants.

Once, in a idle moment, I started trying to think of alternative versions of TV quizzes. Some TV quiz shows are beyond parody, like ‘The Chase’, but some others could be adapted.   For instance, there could be ‘Innit to win it’, like the original but with even less articulate participants.  Or ‘Come and have a go if you think you’re thick enough’, based on the original but with even easier questions.  Or ‘D*ckheads’, like ‘Eggheads’ but… no, just like the original.
