List of radio quizzes
When we add these to the A-Z index, I suggest the genre should be 'Radio' for two reasons - first, it makes it clear what the show is from the start, and secondly radio shows are nearly always panel games or quizzes anyway. For shows that migrated to/from radio, the word Radio should be appended to the genre: as in : 'Panel game, Radio'. Fair enough? - DJB
The DJ segments have been moved to this page:here.
Of use - Radio Listings - almost complete database back to 1997. Also the BBC's infax database: OpenBBC Infax
Still to do
- County Questions / Wiz Quiz / QED (Radio Leicester's quizzes for villages, Women's Institutes, and Schools respectively. Ran from the late 70s into 2000. Include on sheer longevity?)
- Five Live Christmas Quiz (1994-6?)
- On the Air - quite a major one we don't have yet. Note: the text at the top of this linked page is wrong: http://www.radiolistings.co.uk/programmes/on_the_air.html
- The Scoop (Radio 5 news quiz from 1997-8, host Kevin Day)
- You Ain't Heard Nothing Yet - Capital Radio comedy panel game, 1980s, devised and hosted by Jeremy Pascall. Phil Swern was a regular (probably as a sort of on-air adjudicator rather than a competitor). Quite likely the same basic format as That's Showbusiness.
Identical titles - need splitting into (1) and (2)
- The Biz Quiz - DIFFERENT to the TV show (http://www.radiolistings.co.uk/programmes/biz_quiz__the.html)
- Know Your Onions - DIFFERENT to the TV show. extremely twee gardening quiz hosted by the world's most patronisingly slow host, possibly BBC Wales only (http://www.radiolistings.co.uk/programmes/know_your_onions.html)
- Say the Word - DIFFERENT to TV show. (language, 2001, Frank Delaney with the Nimmo Twins). (http://www.radiolistings.co.uk/saytheword.html)
- Screen Test - DIFFERENT to TV show (film, not the Michael Rodd kids' quiz, 98-99, presented by Brian Sibley) (http://www.radiolistings.co.uk/screentest.html)
- Whodunnit? (DIFFERENT TO THE TV SHOW [even tho William Franklyn was on this sometimes too], 1995, R2, host?: Barry Norman, actors: David Timson, Joanna Brookes, team caps: Dulcie Gray and Francis Matthews)
DJ segments that need to be added elsewhere
- Factasia (Mike Smith's quiz)
- The Crew of Two (Simon Mayo, circa 1990 - Simon also had The Alphabetical Experience and - later, when he was on mid-mornings - Dead Or Alive?)
- Hold Your Plums (Billy Butler's quiz, R Merseyside. Brought us the "Hitler" blooper.)
- The Identik-Hit Quiz (Simon Mayo)
- I've Half a Mind to Scream! (Bruno Brookes' Radio 1 lateral thinking quiz, is this the correct title for it though? The puzzle book I have was published in 1988)
- The Mileage Game (from the Radio 1 Roadshow). [Wasn't it Smiley Miley's Mileage Game?]
- Tug of Peace from Mark and Lard's shows
