This week's episode of FOB was recorded in front of a ready and willing audience in London's glittering Soho and a fair few of them made it up on stage to assist Jenny and Lucy in the quizmania!

And joining the hosts and eager participants was a very special guest in the form of No Such Thing As A Fish and QI's very own, James Harkin!

As well as finding out what he was up to in lockdown (be prepared it WILL make you feel inadequate in your own lockdown activities), James also takes part in some serious quizzing, including going head to head with his fellow Bolton Brainic, The Vixen herself. James also proves to be a more than adept quiz show host when Jenny and Lucy are pitted against each other in FOB's own homage to Blockbusters ... I'l have a P please James ....

Welcome to FOB where this week Lucy and Jenny chat to actor and Twitter sensation, Jonny Weldon!

As well as being an avid fan of The Chase and Beat The Chasers (natch), Jonny can often be found at various pub quizzes, not least the one he hosts in his local area in London.

And quizzing isn't the only thing he has in common with our Jenny, as they both prepare to tread the boards in panto this Christmas (oh yes they are), BUT who is the Grand Dame of panto trivia? Perhaps they need to look behind them in case Lucy steels the crown?

Lucy and Jenny are back again and with them is a lady who can certainly preach the virtues of quiz, it's none other than the Rev Kate Bottley, who met our trusty hosts on the high seas, where they enjoyed a quiz based cruise (true story)!

Rev Kate recounts some of her TV quiz adventures which include looking like a floating head on Celebrity Mastermind and the excitement of winning big on Richard Osman's House of Games!

Come and see Lucy and Jenny LIVE as they record an episode of FOB in front of an audience in London, with special guest, James Harkin!

Jenny and Lucy are here again and as always, are joined by a wonderful guest, geared up to tell us all about their life in quiz and this week is no different as we welcome Arabella Weir to Fingers On Buzzers!

Arabella has a healthy attitude to quiz, which could benefit the overzealous among us, which stood her in good stead for her appearances on Celebrity Mastermind!

Plus, the team all compete to see just whom is the best Whovian.... spoiler alert, it's not Lucy. 

Come and see FOB LIVE in London at The Soho Studios on 20th October, with special guest, James Harkin -

The day has finally arrived, after much negotiation and chat between our lawyers, Lucy and Jenny finally welcome the fabulous comedian and host of 'Lightning', it's Zoe Lyons!

I'm of course joking about the need of lawyers, but it should be illegal to be as funny as Zoe and she also turns out to have a huge talent as a quiz show host, but you may be surprised to hear where she gets her hosting inspiration from. 

As well as learning what the process was for getting that converted job, we also get an insight into how many questions 'Lightening' gets through (and it's staggering) and which words couldn't be included in any of Anne Robinson's questions on 'The Weakest Link'. 

Every day's a school day!

Come and see Lucy and Jenny LIVE on 20th October 2021 when they record FOB in front of an audience at The Covent Garden Studios, London with special guest, James Harkin!

Team FOB is delighted to welcome journalist, columnist, podcaster & star of bluegrass band Police Dog Hogan, Tim Dowling!

Tim chats to Lucy and Jenny about his over-enthusiastic pub quiz style, as well as which quiz shows from his native USA have made it across the pond and how the glitzy formats were given a more 'UK' feel. 

We also hear about his knowledge of the banjo, what his Mastermind specialist subject would be, and which member of boyband Blue disgraced themselves at a cashpoint....we cover a lot of ground.

If you could ask comedian, actor, and author Isy Suttie ANYTHING, what would it be? Probably a load of questions about famous Janes and Croydon right? Well, it's your lucky day, because that's exactly what Lucy and Jenny did, so you don't have to!

To find out about Isy's level of knowledge on these subjects AND which TV quiz show she wants to revive, you'll have to listen - and you'll also hear all about what Jenny and Lucy got up to on a cruise ... spoiler alert, it was quizzing.... quizzing on the sea.

Yes that's right THIS IS NOT A DRILL, as Lucy and Jenny welcome none other than the woman who strikes fear into the heart of all naughty parish councilors, it's Jackie Weaver!

Jackie teases us with some titbits behind the scenes of her recent record of Celebrity Mastermind, she also reveals which quiz show (apart from The Chase) she has a burning desire to try her luck at AND she presents her very own quiz to Lucy and Jen... she really DOES have the authority!

This week Lucy and Jenny dive into the rich world of board games and all they have to offer and giving their expert opinion on these important matters is Andy Bush and Brian Murphy from top board gaming podcast, Bush's Board Game Thing.

In this meeting of minds, the players dissect the TV quiz shows which have crossed over to board game territory, both successfully and otherwise. We also find out which of them would be the ideal teammate and who would be the most prone to sulking if the score didn't go their way.
