Lucy and Jenny are here again and this week they are in great company, as they welcome comedian, actor, author, podcaster and activist, Samantha Baines! With so many strings to her bow, you would think that Samantha would be too busy to enjoy a quiz, well you assume wrong, as not only does our guest love a quiz, but as someone who lives with hearing loss, she is aware of a whole new quizzing community for the deaf and hard of hearing. As well as talking about the quizzes in Insta which use BSL, the team also look at how TV quiz show formats fall short of considering those with disabilities, not just in taking part, but also for those at home.

WARNING: After listening to today's episode of FOB, you may never be able to watch Tipping Point in the same way again, as Jenny and Lucy welcome a real life whistleblower to the show!Owen Visser may seem like a mildmannerd writer and performer (and one half of the frankly BRILLIANT Mr Thing), but he is in fact a former contestant on the one and only Tipping Point, and became front page news as a result.Owen's performance on the show caused quite a stir on social media and people were unforgiving when he made the kind of gaff anyone would, when standing under those studio lights, mere meters from the presence of Ben Shephard - it's easier at home you know! The Twitter tirade then caught the interest of the tabloid press and the rest is history .... or is it? Because we hear EXCLUSIVELY from the man himself, and find out what really goes on behind the scenes of one of Britain's best loved quiz shows... How many contestants can fit into a Tipping Point cab? Why is there a man in white gloves on set? What does Ben Shepard really smell like? All these questions and so much more are answered, so buckle-up and get stuck-in. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What a joy it was to be joined by screenwriter and keen quizzer, Christine Robinson!Christine takes us through the journey of her appearance on BBC's teatime favourite 'Pointless' - what is it like to stand on that stage, which elements of her revision were useful and what does she wish she'd done differently? It's a rollercoaster, so strap-in!And as always Lucy and Jen go head-to-head with a listener quiz which gives their little grey cells a good work-out - please keep them coming in, you can send them to - fingersbuzzers@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week our Lucy and Jenny welcomes a lady to the show who certainly know her way around a TV Quiz format, it's producer and writer, Beth Morrey! In this fantastic chat with our guest, we unearth the work that goes on behind the scenes in quiz development, that Noel Edmonds was the earliest adopter of video conferencing and how in an alternate reality Beth is Richard Osman ... have a listen for all of that and another epic listener quiz! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Lucy and Jenny are back and this week they're INTERNATIONAL! Yes, we go live to Nigeria no less to speak with a man who appeared on the Nigerian version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire, Tuoyo Presley Palmer.

Well, you'll have to listen to find out AND you'll also get to hear how Jenny's knowledge of Nigerian TV holds-up... well what are you waiting for? Dig in! Hosted on Acast.

We also hear what it's like to appear on a quiz show, only to be faced with a teammate who probably isn't on your Christmas card list ... AND James laments not being asked to appear on his favourite quiz show, and possibly being ghosted by its host... perhaps this episode could turn James' fortunes around?

Joining Lucy and Jenny this week is writer and historian Hannah Woods, who you may remember not only for her outstanding performance on Mastermind but also for her incredible performance on Twitter when she faced the predictable nonsense leveled at women who dare to display themselves and their talent on national TV. This leads to a frank and important discussion about how change is long over due in the traditionally male, dominated world of quiz - Hannah also more than covered herself in glory in a quiz about British history, which isn't surprising, as she's written a book on it, which will be out ion 2022 and you can pre-order Rule, Nostalgia: A Backwards History of Britain now. We also see the welcome return of listener quiz writer extraordinaire, Matt Sole, whose theme will not disappoint the nostalgics amoung us. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Lucy and Jen are here again with a jubilant episode of FOB and much of that jubilation can be attributed to this week's fabulous guest, comedian, actor, and improviser, Ruth Bratt!As well as starring in hit TV sitcoms such as 'People Just Do Nothing' and 'Man Down' and performing as part of the incredible 'Showstoppers' ensemble, Ruth also LOVES a quiz, whether it's watching one on TV, at a pub quiz, or even making an appearance herself on a celebrity quiz show - she's all about the quiz and has some pretty incredible theatre-based knowledge as you'll hear. Making a very welcome return this week is the wonderful, listener quiz, specifically one sent in by Matt Sole on a subject close to all the FOB crew's hearts ....

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without one of Lucy & Jenny's legendary Quizmas open-house parties ... luckily the FOB team live in a large duplex, so the party could commence in socially distanced style as a host of celebrities from quizzing past drop-in to pose a festive conundrum of their own for us to solve.We also eaves-drop on some pre-party chat as Lucy and Jenny scour the radio times for yuletide quizzing TV treats ... most of which seem to feature at least one of our hosts faces (or someone in their family at the very least) and then we are revisited by ghost of listener past, as the brilliant Michael Cannon joins us once more - and this time he's brought his melodica.The FOB team are taking a break over Christmas and the new year, but will be back in early 2021 for another series of FINGERS ON BUZZERS!

As social distancing continues, Lucy & Jenny use their time apart wisely by hooking themselves-up to video conferencing software to quiz and be quizzed by some of the finest podcasts in the land and today they welcome comedian, presenter of TV's The Mash Report & host of current affairs podcast 'Some News', Mr Steve N Allen to the Fingers On Buzzers clan.Steve's comedy is often sourced from the news, but how will he fare in being quizzed on the subject - after all, it's not as if anything particularly memorable has happened in 2020....We also learn a few fun facts about goings-on behind the news agenda, such as which two VERY well known news readers shared a flat in the late 1960s... the answer will AMAZE you, so have a listen.

The podcast mash-ups keep coming and latest to join the portfolio is the amazing comedian, author, journalist and host of top podcast 'How To Own The Room' - Viv Groskop!Viv looks through her rolodex of past guests to form the ultimate pub quiz team...but does Hilary Clinton make the grade, and which famous classicist is most likely to be up for a scrap in the car park afterwards? All these questions will be answered - with a fair few general knowledge ones thrown-in for good measure.... de rien. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Another week another smashing of pods and this week Lucy and Jenny are joined by most of Pappy's Flatshare Slamdown Podcast. Matt & Ben prove they could hold their own in a quiz and provide some fun facts of their own whilst they're at it, whilst Jenny reveals a rather extreme aversion to an animal usually viewed as innocuous at most.As always there trivia has tenuous link to the guest podcast, but everyone laughs and learns along the way ... what fun!

It's another cracking pod-mash this week, as Lucy and Jenny welcome Margret Caborn-Smith and Producer Ben Walker of Do The Right Thing to the Fingers On Buzzers collective!The gang reminisce about TV quiz gold such as 'Telly Addicts' and about another quiz -developed by Ben - which didn't quite have the same longevity, but nevertheless deserves a place in TV quiz show history. As always, hosts and guests are tested on their general knowledge and go head to head in categories picked for their tenuous link to the visiting podcast.
