Summer 2021 – the show goes on!

Mr Quiz is not taking a summer break this year.

The live show at The Green Linnet goes on throughout the month of August.

There may be a guest presenter for one or two shows, but rest assured: the hand of Mr Quiz is still firmly on the tiller.

This week's episode of the Podcast will, however, be the last of the season. Back in September.

End of the Mr Quiz Facebook page

As a result of persistent harassment by Facebook (10 messages per day pushing me to pay for ads), I have decided to stop updating this page. All future announcements will be made here and on Twitter only:

This Week in Future History

Question 1

What event will have taken place on
Wednesday 16 June 2021 at 8.30pm?

S03E20

 

S03E20 will be published on Thursday this week.

 

 

S03E15 delayed

 Due to technical difficulties, S03E15 will not be online until Thursday evening (15 April).

 

Erratum - S02E10 Question 1.5

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!

The answer announced is incorrect. I've published a new mini-episode with the correct answer: S02E10.3 

La réponse annoncée est incorrecte. J'ai publié un mini-épisode avec la bonne réponse: S02E10.3

I'm sure you'll forgive me.

Je suis sûr que vous me pardonnerez.

😞

S02E07 - correction

The wording of question 2.4 is not clear; it should be:

"Which country's first ever women's football league starts this week?"

La formulation de la question 2.4 n'est pas claire; elle devrait être :

"Le tout premier championnat de football féminin de quel pays commence cette semaine ?"
