The Game Game

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

The British have always been 'game for a game' - an excuse to let down their hair, unloose their egos, indulge their fantasies, or simply do well. In a series of four diverse features, Nick Baker infiltrates the games world, assuming the role of all-purpose player. This week: an examination of the phenomenon of general knowledge.
What is it? What use is it? Why are we so fascinated by other people's knowledge?
The General Knowledge Game is a panel quiz with a difference, with contributions from
Magnus Magnusson , Nicholas Parsons , Professor Ted Wragg and Trivial Pursuit's Ray Loud. Producer ANDREW PARFITT Stereo
