Who doesn’t love a quiz?

Whether it’s in a pub on a weekday evening or at home with the family on a rainy afternoon – quizzing is part of the fabric of of our leisure time in this country.

In recent times, however, quizzing has become the centre of the virtual world, as people across the land (and across the world) gather together for weekly (and sometimes nightly!) quizzes on social media, Zoom, Google Hangouts, Microsoft Teams, House Party and the myriad other video conferencing systems that are currently using up all the space on your phone screen!

But a quiz would be nothing without questions – and whether you like it or not, at some point during the digital quiz revolution, it’s going to be your turn to ask the questions. And although a good quizmaster makes it look easy, it’s actually harder than you might think to come up with good quiz questions that challenge your audience and offer enough breadth and depth to keep them interested throughout.

So no fear, we here at RadioTimes.com have put our collective heads together and come up with hundreds of fiendish questions to keep your audience guessing. From general knowledge for everyone to classic rounds including music, sport and film all the way through to much more specific areas like Only Fools and Horses, Soaps and Stranger Things. Yes, if you can think of it – we’ve probably made a quiz for you about it!

And the best thing is, you can take whatever questions (and answers, we always recommend you take those too) and make your own mix and match pub quiz from below. And if you want even more questions on a certain topic, you can click through to even more questions in our specific genre quizzes!
