The problem with quizzes is that the same questions keep coming up, like "What's the name of the only member of ZZ Top without a beard?"*. So the more quizzes you do the more predictable they get.
Luckily, here comes quizzer, comedian and Rose d'Or winner Paul Sinha with his new BBC Radio 4 series, Paul Sinha's Perfect Pub Quiz. Each episode he will invite the audience to tell him their favourite quiz questions, and then kindly explain why they're a bit rubbish, before offering up not only a better question, but also the fascinating stories behind the answer. It's facts, jokes, stories and puns - just the way you like them.
(Please come with questions or this format really won't work at all)
