Right now, someone somewhere in the world is thinking up a question to ask Helen and Olly...
How can you tell if an old person used to be hot?
Why do lion tamers use chairs?
How many people must one kill before it is classed as a spree?
In their roles as hosts of comedy podcast Answer Me This! Helen and Olly take on the world's questions and solve them with their unique mixture of pointless knowledge, reckless opinion and a dash of filth.

So much to enjoy - every page is a delight

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 November 2010

If you are familiar with Helen & Olly's altogether brilliant podcast, you will know what to expect from this book. Wit, humour, and intelligence - and Olly writes a few pages as well! The tone of the podcast is present throughout. Dip into any page and you will find something to enjoy. There are also plenty of visual features to delight the eye as well as the mind that are by definition unavailable in a podcast. If you're not familiar with the podcast - why not?! The book is sure to bring Helen & Olly many new fans and hopefully even more of the recognition they deserve. It would make a great Christmas gift and there are going to be lots of happy giggles and laughs on ChristmasDay and Boxing Day from the happy recipients. It's the sort of book you can dip into time and time again and still be thoroughy entertained, and it's a bargain at this price. Buy one for yourself and a couple for your friends and share the joy.

Lots of comedy and facts interspersed with a lot of nonsense

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 December 2011

I was not familiar with the Answer Me This Podcast. In fact I came across this book, when I bought Does Anything Eat Bankers?: And 53 Other Indispensable Questions for the Credit Crunched , written by Helen's brother, Andy Zaltzman.

Broken down loosely into chapters, it details some of the favourite questions that came in to the podcast along with irreverent, funny, and occasionally insulting answers. Questions range from the "Yeah, I always wondered about that..." to "Ewww, who thinks of a question like that?". It's a great little book, with facts loosely disguised by random bursts of surrealism and dips into student years past.

Answer me this. Which book should you buy?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 September 2011

The book version of the popular podcast. (Download it now if you havent already)

On the podcast and indeed in the book the presenters Helen and Olly will answer (almost) any question sent in. Normally in a humerous way, this can range from origin of phrases to social ettiquette.

Would suggest that anyone that is considering the book listens to the free podcast, and if you like that will like the book.

If you dont like the podcast then dont both reading the book (obviously)

I bought this for my boyfriend as I know he loves AMT (and so do I, so now I can steal it from him and read it myself), and he was surprised and excited when he received it. It arrived promptly, it's a great size of a book and it's filled with typical ATM questions and answers that are, as always, hugely entertaining. Definitely one of the best purchases I've made on Amazon as it was cheap but something that will never get old or boring.

Lolah

loved the book & surprisingly learnt stuff as I laughed!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 March 2014

As well as being full of the many great laughs I expected from the "Answer Me This" team, this book actually had content that meant I learnt stuff as I read and laughed at the same time too!! Definitely worth every penny (which is reinvested in the brilliant podcast too, for more laughs, knowledge and silliness!!)
Definite full marks from me!!

More questions answered than a pub brawl between the Eggheads and the Chasers

I recently became addicted to Helen and Olly's podcast and in an effort to ensure they are able to buy more Chupa Chup lollies I decided to buy this book. I was worried that the pages inside would contain nothing more than the random telephone messages of their more deranged listeners. I can happily report that this is not the case. Instead you get pages filled with the same wit and wisdom that can be found their damn fine show. Unfortunately it does not tell me who would win in a fight between Anne Hegerty and Daphne Fowler. Maybe they'll answer me that another time...

What a wonderful book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 December 2010

Well I have to say that I am very impressed with the book. I have been subscribed to the podcast for sometime and the book means my family who are not into podcasts can be involved also.
Great read. Could not be better.
Thank you Helen and Olly (and Martin the soundman)
