Fingers On Buzzers

30 FOB LIVE : With Nick Helm

Welcome to Fingers On Buzzers series three!This was recorded back in a simpler time, when all we had to worry about was storm Ciara and isolation was only something we had to do after spicy food.So, Lucy and Jenny appeared less than 2 meters in front of a packed audience at The Bill Murray comedy venue in London for some live, quiz-based hilarity.Regular listeners may spot that this episode is somewhat of a departure from the norm - not only in format - but also language wise and that's largely thanks to our brilliant guest, comedian Nick Helm... although Lucy probably sets the tone fairly early on.Although it's not one to play in front of the kids, we guarantee it will help in these difficult times and bring a smile into your socially distant household.... Enjoy! Everyone at FOB Towers hope all of our listeners (and non listeners) are safe and well and look forward to seeing you when we are able to venture out into the wild again.Love, Lucy, Jenny and Producer Amanda.

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.
