Product Description
Book Description
Play along at home with the BBC's biggest quiz show of all time!
Product Description
The People's Quiz 2007 is set to take the nation by storm. Over 12 consecutive weeks on Saturday nights, BBC 1 will feature the biggest quiz show the corporation has ever envisaged - with more questions, more contestants and a bigger prize fund than ever before.
Regional auditions are open to the entire nation. Thousands have flocked to quiz centres around the country to be tested with general knowledge questions and find out if they can get through to the next round - and, eventually, the grand final. The contestants who make it to the studio stage compete head to head each week to get through to the next round. After twelve weeks, the show climaxes with a nailbiting grand final, where one member of the public will have their life changed for ever by winning a massive cash prize.
The People's Quiz Book 2007 enables you to take part in the game too - answering real questions from the show at home - do you think you could have made it through the auditions? Great questions, great fun for the whole family - give it a shot, you never know what you might win...

This is a well-produced, good value book by Bantam Press. There are nearly 5,000 questions in total on a wide variety of subjects. The book is divided into two sets of general knowledge questions plus a further set of 2,000 questions which are divided into areas of specialist subjects. Thus there is plenty of potential for any would-be quiz masters to use the book to design quizzes of any particular structure.
There is also a nice little entertaining section which provides some amusing 'answers' to questions which participants of the BBC show have provided. My particular favourite, which may make you despair for the IQ level of the general British population;
Q: Who composed Handel's Water Music?
A: Beethoven?
Nice one, but I think this was a memorable highlight of the old 3-2-1 gameshow, in which the second contestant's answer was Chopin!
Let's hope your family and friends are more intelligent than this, if so have some great quiz fun with this book.

I'm something of a quiz fanatic, and I regularly set quizzes for my local pub, so I'm always on the lookout for good and interesting questions. Having often been disappointed by the lack of quality of TV tie-in quiz books I felt I should take the time and trouble to write in praise of this one, which is far better than is usual for this genre. If you weren't a fan of the show - and lets face it, who was ? - then you shouldn't let it put you off the book. For one thing there are a lot of questions in here, and while quantity is no more important than quality, it means you're far more likely to find some useful things here. Questions are split into sections - the audition questions section, which is split into age group categories, the general knowledge section, and the specialist section, which I personally have found more useful for setting my own quizzes than the other sections. Like the show there is something of a preponderance towards popular culture questions, but all in all I have found this to be a good and useful book - certainly better than the equivalent books for Who Wants to Be A Millionaire, and The Weakest Link. Decent value here.
