Fingers On Buzzers

49 News Quizzing With Angela Barnes

AND THEY'RE BACK! Yes, Lucy and Jenny return with series 4 of Fingers on Buzzers and what a bag of treats they have in store.This week alone we are treated to a chat with host of Radio 4's The News Quiz and Jenny Ryan doppelganger, Angela Barnes, who pits her wits against Jenny and Lucy in a news-based quiz set by friend of the show, Steve N Allen. And the episode is book-ended sublimely by listener Ann Gavigon who kicks-off the show with a tale of how not being native to Britain hindered her appearance on Eggheads and then polishes the whole thing-off with a listener quiz for Lucy and Jenny, so without further a-do, let's get going! FOB LIVE SHOWFingers on Buzzers will be holding a very special quiz night with a difference at The Clapham Grand on Monday 26th October 2020.

Fingers on Buzzers is brought to you by comedian and keen amateur quizzer Lucy Porter, alongside The Chase's very own Jenny Ryan. Whether you’re a Pointless armchair aficionado, nostalgic for the days of Going for Gold, or a bona fide Mastermind, this is the podcast for you.  Jenny and Lucy speak to a host of people who work behind the scenes of our favourite TV quiz shows, including James Harkin (QI), Roger Tilling (the ‘Voice’ of University Challenge) and Jenny Hawker (Only Connect); plus we hear from epic winners and losers of quiz shows past and present, from Bullseye and Blockbusters to Britain's Brightest Family and everything in between.  Lucy and Jenny will also discuss the BIG issues including the etiquette of pub quizzing, new quizzing technology and how questions have changed with the times. All the BIG questions will be asked (and answered.) What IS the difference between quiz shows and game shows? With the help of experts and enthusiasts alike, Jenny and Lucy get to the bottom of that and much, much more besides. There's also plenty of opportunities to play-along, as week-by-week Jenny coaches plucky layperson Lucy on the ‘quiz syllabus’, and in-turn Lucy tests the mettle of general knowledge guru Jenny with a weekly pop-quiz.  Whether you're an Only Connect know-it-all, still dine-out on your Fifteen To One appearance from 1993, or only indulge in Trivial Pursuits on December 25th, this podcast is for you.  Hosted on Acast.
