Fingers On Buzzers

56 Neil Delamere's House of Games

Welcome to a brand new episode of Fingers On Buzzers, which is released as Lucy approaches the end of a a tense week of puzzling on Richard Osman's House of Games! As we find out, most of the contestants were very much in it to win it and this week's podcast guest Neil Delamere was no exception to that. He and Lucy relive their bitter rivalry for the entertainment of us and Jenny, but then leave us with a cliff hanger as to how the competition ended.Neil also talks to Jenny and Lucy about his first ever TV appearance as a contestant on an Irish kid's TV quiz show AND we're keeping it international for this episode as we also hear from listener David in Hamburg who has his own TV quiz show story to tell, when he appeared on a quiz in Azerbaijan no less! After you've listened to the episode, have a look at what happened here : You won't believe your eyes! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5uKqxy6Uxc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">//www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5uKqxy6Uxc</a> Hosted on Acast.

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.
