Fingers On Buzzers

95 Settling the Score: With Ed Byrne

At long last, justice for Lucy, as scores get settled with her quizzing nemesis, Ed Byrne. As regular listeners know, Ed managed to drop a clanger on Pointless Celebrities which cost them the trophy - but has all been forgiven?Well, the team gathered in a karaoke booth during this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival to talk it all through, play some games and see if anyone called 'Kim' performed in a TV dance troop. Jenny and Lucy give away prizes galore to the select group in attendance, and we find out Ed is possibly this decades Paul Daniels!  See Lucy and Jenny with special guest Tim Dowling at this year's London Podcast Festival on Saturday 9th September 2023, 4:30pm <a href="https://www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/comedy/fingers-on-buzzers-3/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fingers on Buzzers • Comedy • Kings Place</a>They will also be at The Museum of Comedy on 11th October 2023 - <a href="https://www.museumofcomedy.com/whats-on/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Museum of Comedy - What's On</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.
