Quiz Show
After comments from a regular correspondent on this blog (or blob as one of my friends refers to them) I have to admit my liking for radio phone in quizzes. Although I would never admit my ignorance by actually phoning in myself I take great pleasure in shouting at the radio variously - "No", "Wrong", "How could you even think that", "Yes, I know that one its..." etc. etc. My particular favourites are The Betamax Challenge and Six Degrees of Separation on Stuart Maconie's show on Radio 2 on Saturdays. If I'm listening during the day it's the dulcet tones of Ken Bruce and Popmaster that I shout at. Well it's a bit of fun isn't it - until the neighbours and other motorists think you a bit barmy - anyway!!
So, what are your favourite phone-ins, have you entered any and have you ever won anything on any?
Do tell all.

Hi Ian
Thanks for your comment. It's a shame it wasn't you who won. We the prize any good?
Sorry that should have been Was the prize any good?
i never thought to ask. the story has got even more rubbish!
Oh well - not to worry. It was still a good story.
I've rung for Popmaster a few times, but never got through. Groo! Another crap story, I'm afraid.
Oh, and this week's Betamax Challenge was a bit on the easy side.
Not to worry Rich I haven't even tried to ring in. I'm afraid I actually missed most of Stuart M's show on Saturday :( - had to go shopping - so didn't hear Betamax challenge and 6 degrees. But I went on to the website yesterday to get the answers to it! I thought it was quite a tricky one this week. Not exactly difficult but the links weren't straightforward. How did you do on it?
Didn't hear 6 Degrees I'm afriad.

It's a slightly awkward one I think.
