The problem with quizzes is that the same questions keep coming up, like “Who was the first US President to be assassinated?”*. So the more quizzes you do the more predictable they get.

Luckily, here comes quizzer, comedian and Rose d’Or winner Paul Sinha with his new series, Paul Sinha’s Perfect Pub Quiz. In each episode he will invite the audience to tell him their favourite quiz questions, before offering up not just different and surprising questions, but also the fascinating stories behind the answers.

It’s facts, jokes, stories and puns – just the way you like them.

The answers to every question this week are four-letter words - such as 'quiz', not the ones you're thinking of.
