Synopsis

Pop quiz where the contestants were celebrities.

In January 1994, Read came back to present a one-off special for the Top of the Pops 30th anniversary. In the rest of 1994, Mr Pilot at the time, Chris Tarrant, presented a further new series.

In June 2008, after a 14 year break, Pop Quiz returned to Red TV, with Mike Read back at the helm, under the slightly less descriptive title of The Mike Read Show.

Merchandise

A Mike Read Pop Quiz game was available at the time, which came with a free poster of the Readmeister himself to Blu-tak to your toilet bedroom wall.

There was also one of those travel card games that were popular in the 80s (remember the Blockbusters "Gold Run" game?) and a series of tape cassette/book combos.
