What defines a quiz show? Could it be evening dress and pipe-smoking? Do cargo nets make it a game not a quiz? Join in the discussion on our Facebook page.</p><p><br></p><p>For a blast of nostalgia, we are joined by <a href=\"https://twitter.com/dermotfinch\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Dermot Finch</a>, who didn’t exactly make a great account of himself when he appeared on Blockbusters as a sixth former. Thankfully he not only has fond memories of Bob Holness but he’s even uploaded the show for your extreme viewing pleasure:<a href=\"https://vimeo.com/13579742\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> https://vimeo.com/13579742</a></p><p><br></p><p>Our second guest, giving us a glimpse behind the curtain of quiz show production, is <a href=\"https://twitter.com/rogertilling\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Roger Tilling</a> aka the Voice of University Challenge. Roger shares with us some behind-the-scenes tidbits and tells us about his biggest pronunciation challenges – all in those inimitable mellifluous tones.</p><p><br></p><p>And Lucy and Jenny will start to work their way through the Quiz Syllabus, testing each other on those topics which, with a bit of attention, will make you a better quizzer. Every episode will feature mini-quizzes on two topics - listen out at the end of the show for next week’s subjects so you can get some revision in! This week, Lucy sets Jenny a champagne cork-popping pop quiz on Wine Bottle Sizes, and Jenny attempts to ease Lucy in with a warm-up set of questions on British Comedians.</p><p><br></p><p>Thank you to our guests:<a href=\"https://twitter.com/dermotfinch\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> Dermot Finch</a> and <a href=\"https://twitter.com/rogertilling\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Roger Tilling</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Get in touch with us! </strong><a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/fingersbuzzers\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Facebook </strong></a><strong>/ </strong><a href=\"https://twitter.com/FingersBuzzers\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Twitter @FingersBuzzers</strong></a><strong> / </strong><a href=\"mailto:fingersbuzzers@gmail.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>fingersbuzzers@gmail.com</strong></a></p><p><strong>Produced by: </strong><a href=\"https://twitter.com/amandakredman\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Amanda Redman</strong></a></p><p><strong>Artwork by: Brendan Appleton</strong></p><p><strong>Music by: Justin Edwards &amp; Kevin MacLeod (Happy, Happy Game Show).</strong></p><p><strong>Voice Over: </strong><a href=\"https://twitter.com/petedonaldson\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Pete Donaldson</strong></a></p>","author_name":"Fingers On Buzzers"}
