The following podcast is a member of the Great Big Owl family. I'm going to go. Hey up you pop craze youngsters and welcome to Here Comes Quism, the chart music pub quiz. I'm your host, Al Needham, no one else with me, doing this alone and yeah, what's it in aid of? Well, when I'm not presenting chart music, which is the greatest podcast in the world about old episodes at the top of the pubs, I spend four nights a week in Nottingham doing pub quizzes. And just like you, I've been sat at home scratching me whatevers and wondering what to do in this end. And I thought, you know what, why not mash the two concerns of my life together? So here it is. This is a pilot.

It's something mainly for the pub craze Patreons who are keeping us afloat at the moment, but it will be available later on to the general public. So yeah, pub quiz, 42 questions, seven rounds, pretty random, but it's a music quiz. There's no prizes, so I don't give a toss if you cheat or not. This is just for bragging rights. It's pre-recorded, so you can pause it whenever you want. And it is probably going to be rough as arseholes. So, first thing you need to do is to hop back on that page where you got this from. And there will be an answer sheet and a picture round to download.

And round number one is going to be your picture round. All you've got to do is tell me what year those episodes atop of the pops were broadcast broadcasted broadcast i don't know and i don't care either you get a full point for the right year if you get a year either side you get half a point so go off and do some downloading if you can print them out brilliant if not get a bit of paper and a pen and, you know,

busk it, really. Way down inside What more can you need? Just to let you know, we're all good here in Child Music World.

I'll be fine I can take you out to Luke Airport Oh one more thing we're going to try and do this in sort of real time so there'll be gaps between the rounds

so you can go out and go to the fridge or whatever you need to do so yeah let's let's just shut our eyes and imagine we're in the pub. We are mates with beer

and there's that team you don't like on the other table. You know, the ones that go out for fags breaks and check their phones a bit too much. Everything's fine. It's okay. See you in a bit. Right. Right, and we're two minutes away from round number two of Here Comes Quism. We had our little romance, we had our little fling Two weeks in for Joker and he wants to party

Then I thought he'd left me at the airport on the air. But it turns out he's the captain on the plane that's going out to the airport. Who are we? The airport. Who are we? The airport. Who are we? It's all right being chatted up.

Round number four is called Television Theme Tunes Played Backwards. Oh yes. I've got five television theme tunes here. I'm going to play them back to back to back to back to back, backwards. Your job is to tell me what they are. If I were to play them forwards, which I will do at the end of the quiz.

Sort of vaguely pop music related. They're definitely chart music related. Let's put it that way. So, get your tabs up and here comes question number 16. What is this? Question number 17.

America America America America America America America Right, while we're having this interlude, I just want to put out a bit of a request. I spoke to my metal brother, Chris Needham, the other day.

He's all good. The problem is that his recording studio is broken and he can't get it fixed. So just on the off chance that anybody has got a Boss Digital Recording Studio BR-1600, they don't want or want to sell cheap, get in touch with me at chartmusicpodcast.gmail.com.

Rule of three.

Where people who make funny stuff talk about something funny that they love. Because I remember as a kid thinking, that's a really good old-fashioned gag, but it's also nasty. The actual VHS, this is clearly sufficiently important to me, that this went through house moves as well. There is that joy and that slight fear as well about who's going to say what.

Everything from airplane to bottom. From when Harry met Sally to the Muppets. Trying is good. Aiming high is good. Being ridiculous and not being afraid of failure is good. I think that joke is so fucking funny. Again, I just think this is hysterical. It's beautiful stuff.

Rule of three from Great Big Owl. From Great Big Owl. Round number five is called My Non-R on a Bon Tempe organ. It's about time the Pop Craze youngsters were introduced to My Non-R.
