61 Jenny & Lucy's Quizmas Open House

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without one of Lucy & Jenny's legendary Quizmas open-house parties ... luckily the FOB team live in a large duplex, so the party could commence in socially distanced style as a host of celebrities from quizzing past drop-in to pose a festive conundrum of their own for us to solve.We also eaves-drop on some pre-party chat as Lucy and Jenny scour the radio times for yuletide quizzing TV treats ... most of which seem to feature at least one of our hosts faces (or someone in their family at the very least) and then we are revisited by ghost of listener past, as the brilliant Michael Cannon joins us once more - and this time he's brought his melodica.The FOB team are taking a break over Christmas and the new year, but will be back in early 2021 for another series of FINGERS ON BUZZERS! Until then, take care and have a very, very happy Christmas and a healthy new year. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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.
