Not a quiz show, I know, but Rebekah Vardy did well in court....
Mr Sherborne, referring to a mobile phone, said on Thursday it was a “shame” that messages between journalists – who had allegedly been leaked stories – and Ms Watt were “lying at the bottom of the sea in Davy Jones’ locker”.

Years ago, I occasionally worked with a Scouse guy who used to love telling stories about a programme called Hold Your Plums on Radio Merseyside. The format of the show was that if someone got a question wrong, they'd keep them on and keep giving them hints and clues until the answer was finally uncovered. The genius of this format was that clever people didn't get much airtime, whilst the thickos were on for ages.The Hitler question I heard about was that someone was trying to guess his his name and incredibly didn't know it even when they'd been gifted clues for Adolf Hit... For what really should have been the last clue to finish off, they were told that "the second syllable in his surname sounds a bit like a place where a bear lives". Their answer? Den. That's right, the well known Nazi leader, Adolf Hitden.2 -

Thanks for this BTW, I remember hearing this show on local radio when I was up in Liverpool for a wedding. Couldn't believe what I was hearing. Some old lady was asked to name a country in Europe where they drove on the left. Had her leaning out the window to look at the cars (apparently she lived on a one way street!). Funniest thing I'd heard in ages... Will try to find2 -
