Lightning - New Quiz Show BBC2
First airing on Monday of this week, Lightning is the latest edition in BBC 2s early evening quiz slot. Zoe Lyons is the presenter and the show is 30 minutes of, as the title suggest, quick fire questions. There is very little hanging around, and a certain degree of luck in the gameplay, but at the core of the show there is a nice range of rapid questions and answers. I am not yet sure what I think of the physical challenge which seems to be only round that makes the show drag, but aside from that Lightning is well worth your time!

Just in case you have Netflix and haven't noticed (indeed I didn't until made aware as its tucked right away in there), several dozen episodes of the rather excellent US quiz show Jeopardy have been uploaded to the UK version on Netflix. Always top quality questions and players so well worth hunting down!

Quizzing in 2021 - Lowbrow MIMIR
If my posts regarding the Quizzing events that have enriched 2020, then its probably worth mentioning a few ideas for Quizzing events you can get involved in in 2021!
Starting in mid-January, the Lowbrow MIMIR is the newest competition from the Online Quiz League. Quizzers from across the country (and indeed globe) will compete in this individual contest aimed at Lowbrow knowledge (see picture above for definition of what this covers). The MIMIR format involves 4 players competing at a time, and the way the structure works means that you will eventually be paired with people of your own level so games should be close, tight and above all else fun!
The setting team is the same one that are behind the fantastic questions on the Online Quiz League, so the quality is going to be high. Don't be daunted by the idea of individual quizzing!
You can sign up HERE and please mentioned The Quiz Addict or Daniel Fullard when you do so!
