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?)
  • 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)

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
A Labyrinth Games site.
