Quiz night has a problem

Modern quizzes are all reality stars and streaming shows. You sit there waiting for a question about the programmes you actually grew up with, and it never comes.

This book is all yours. 25 rounds, one for each classic show, 300 questions in all. Every answer comes with a 'well, I never' story, and every round ends with a Curtain Call on what became of the cast.

Built for real quiz nights, not just reading

Inside the book

Who this is for

Anyone who grew up with British telly, fans who found these shows on PBS or BritBox, Christmas and family get-togethers, and a lovely gift for Mum, Dad or Nan.

A page from the book

1. In which Devon seaside resort does Fawlty Towers stand? (Easy) Torquay. The English Riviera was full of genteel hotels, and Fawlty Towers was the one you'd most want to avoid. 2. John Cleese based Basil on a real hotel owner he met while filming with the Monty Python team. What was that hotel called? (Medium) The Gleneagles Hotel in Torquay. Its owner, Donald Sinclair, struck Cleese as the rudest man he'd ever met.

Questions people ask

Is this only for British readers?

Not at all. It suits anyone who loves these shows, whether you watched them on the BBC and ITV first time round or found them later on PBS or BritBox.

Are the answers reliable?

Yes. Every answer was checked before it went in, and anything we couldn't confirm was left out.

How does a PDF work for quiz night?

Answers sit at the end of each round, so whoever holds the phone, tablet or printout can read the questions aloud without seeing spoilers.

How do I get the book after I pay?

The download link appears straight away and is emailed to you. It's yours to keep, on any device.

P.S. Somewhere in this book is the question that makes the whole table shout at once. It's worth $8.99 to find out which one.
