The Monday Movie Quiz

Current revision as of 19:58, 4 September 2024

Host

Ray Moore (1976-87)

Chris Serle (1988-91)

Chris Stuart (1991-94)

Broadcast

BBC Radio 2, 5 April 1976 to 13 May 1994 (219 episodes in 19 series; 1990-94 as The Movie Quiz)

Synopsis

A quiz about movies, and aired on a Monday at 8pm. The quiz was designed for the listener at home who was asked questions on film over several rounds, some of which had modest prizes (£5 Premium Bond vouchers) attached. The first correct postcards out of the hat won. Later, Chris Serle and Chris Stuart had stints as presenter; moving the programme to Saturdays didn't help, and the show promptly sank without a trace.

Trivia

Compiled, written and produced by Martin Fisher, up until 1984 when he was promoted to Head of Radio Light Entertainment.
