BBC Radio 4 - Paul Sinha's General Knowledge, Series 2, Episode 2

Paul Sinha tests his audience on their knowledge of the world beyond Britain.

The comedian and quizzer focuses on the world outside the UK from France, to Mercury to the most popular Brazilian. From 2020.

Paul Sinha is an award-winning comedian, the reigning British Quiz Champion and also, according to the Radio Times, the UK's "funniest fund of forgotten facts". 

He's recounting the amazing true stories that lie behind fascinating nuggets of information.

This episode focuses on the world outside the UK, from relatively close countries such as France, to further afield - like Mercury! 

He tells the story of the most popular Brazilian who ever lived (and why he relied on those not living for his popularity), and the world's greatest Belgian. 

He also manages to sneak a reference to his favourite football team in to the show - see if you can spot it.

Recorded virtually, with an audience of 200 people watching Paul from the comfort of their own home.

Written and performed by Paul Sinha.

Producer: Ed Morrish

A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in August 2020.
