The Quiz is Dead – Long Live the Quiz…
Well, it’s official now. Other Rob and I announced last night that as of our 100th quiz at the Griffin we would be giving it up. 4,500 questions down the line, and after over two years of continuous service (barring the pub refurbishment work) we’ve decided to call it a day.
Basically, whilst the presenting of it is fun, it does mean that not a single Tuesday can be entirely our own – and there are occasionally things I’d like to do on Tuesdays. There’s a comedy club in Soho, there’s various “gay professional” events which tend to be on Tuesdays and so on.
Plus it tends to impact on my Monday nights in order to get things ready, and a huge chunk is taken out of both of our weekends writing the thing – a task which is getting harder the longer we go on. (Seriously, writing this week’s quiz was like pulling teeth.)
So there we go, time to move aside and let someone with new ideas come in, freshen up the format and so on. And maybe, just maybe, we’ll get a chance to enjoy the fruits of someone else’s labours now too.
We’ll miss it of course, despite the hard work. “What will you do on your first Tuesday?” Rob asked me yesterday. I thought about it a bit and realised I would probably end up standing in the middle of my living room looking slightly lost and out of place.
So anyway… 23rd December 2008. Quiz 100. Our last stand. Do come along if you can make it!
