Quiz of the Week

on BBC One London

Ned Sherrin looks back at news of the week - with questions designed to test both wits and memories
The William Rushton Trio challenge The Team of the Rt. Hon. Quintin Hogg MP

Not another quiz? Well, yes, after a fashion. A quizzical look at the previous week in which the chairman Ned Sherrin aims to provoke answers that will amuse as well as inform. Now a film producer, Ned Sherrin first influenced Saturday evenings on TV when he produced That Was The Week That Was. In Quiz of the Week the questions will be put in a variety of ways from the straightforward to the crossword style, from completing the last line of topical limericks to imagining what personalities of the week might have been saying as the camera caught them. The viewer can concentrate entirely upon testing his or her wits against the teams. There's no need to worry about the rules being broken - there aren't any rules. As the Chairman says, his decision is 'arbitrary, prejudiced, and final.'
