Q Were you a fan of the original series?

A Yes, I can remember it being on at tea time with Bob Holness asking the questions. Occasionally there would be an Irish person on and that caused a ripple of excitement!

Q Do you worry about being compared with Bob?

A Bob’s last one was in

1995, and there have been a few attempts to bring it back, each of which has lasted only for one series. Our version is more gag-heavy but it’s still a young person’s quiz – it’s really fun to film.
