December 21, 2018 16 It's a Christmas Quiz-tacular!
Lucy and Jenny are full of quiz-mas cheer in this seasonal extra episode and have a good old reminisce about the quiz-based board games that cause family feuds after the roast turkey. And there's also a festive themed quiz, so pour yourself a generous glass of port and play along at home.
A very happy Christmas from everyone at Fingers On Buzzers - thank you so much for listening and we'll be back in early 2019!

December 07, 2018 15 Richard Herring's Pointless Reveries & Other Memorable Contestants.
It's the end of term, so we thought we'd treat you to a slightly longer edition.
A quiz show is nothing without it's contestant - celebrity or otherwise - so Lucy & Jenny talk about those who are remembered for all the right, but mostly all the wrong reasons.
Comedy legend Richard Herring re-lives some of his quiz show appearances and injustices - he will always shudder whenever he hears 'Shaddup your face' - which is presumably often. Plus, Thomas De Bock takes us through the TV quiz show scene in Belgium.
In this week's listener quiz - courtesy of Chris Walsh - Jenny & Lucy keep their buzzers a mystery... put your guesses as to what they might be in the comments below!
So in short: Herring, Belgium, legendary contestants and Joe Dolce ... there's an awful lot of Joe Dolce for some reason.

FOB is back for a Christmas special on Friday 21st December 2018!

They also talk cash prizes with Ailsa Watson, who hit the jackpot on Fifteen-to-one and Lucy has her eyes on the prize of an appearance on Only Connect, when our hosts chat with Mike Turner - he writes the walls on the show. And listener Bernie sets a spectacular quiz, which sees our Lucy and Jenny go head-to-head on the subject of US presidents.... if you can 'Trump' that, then pop your questions in the comments below.

October 12, 2018 07 Kids TV Quiz SPECIAL! From Quizzing on Crackerjack to Britain's Brainiest Kid
In this special episode, Jenny and Lucy look back to their first tentative steps into the world of general knowledge and it's apparent that our 'Vixen' has always had a touch of 'Chaser' in her. Whilst Lucy is most keen to reunite with a winning quiz team of her youth - they got in the local paper, you know! There's a look at kids TV quizzes past and present and we hear from former contestants of Britain's Brainiest Kid, Ask The Family AND from one chap who won a rather disappointing prize after a quizzing appearance on Crackerjack way back in 1968.
