About an hour away from the Gold Coast and close Byron Bay. Very cute place.

This week Tom’s special subject was morning television. “The TV shows with more hosts crammed into them than a Logies bathroom stall”.



Gone and well and truly forgotten

Had the question been asked on a special “Media Enthusiasts” edition of Hard Quiz, no doubt all four contestants would’ve got that one right! :wink:

From Wednesday 2 February 8.00pm

Tom Gleeson returns with his Big Brass Mug to test the mettle of average Aussies with eccentric interests. This week it’s the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team, Project Mercury space program, Lawrence of Arabia and ’60s comedy Get Smart!

Get ready to set your brains to ‘Hard’, because Australia’s favourite quiz show is coming back for 2022!

Multi-award-winning master of smart-arsery, Tom Gleeson returns with another eclectic collection of so-called experts, who are all fired up to put their passions and their egos on the line for a crack at taking home the coveted Big Brass Mug.

The subjects are wider, weirder, and wilder than ever before, with wannabe Hard Quiz winners matching wits with Tom Gleeson and giving as good as they get.

Plus, this year sees the return of not one, not two but three festivals of failure, ‘Battle of the Duds’! So strap yourselves in Australia, it’s time to play – HARD!

In the first episode: Tim who knows the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team, Project Mercury space program aficionado Anthony, Lawrence of Arabia expert Craig, and Leanne who is into sixties comedy Get Smart.

Production credit: A Thinkative TV production. Producers: Kevin Whyte, Charlie Pickering, Tom Gleeson. Co- Executive Producer John Tabbagh. Executive Producer Chris Walker. ABC Executive Producer Tarni James.

Just watched Battle of the Has Beens which was an extended length episode. Outrageously funny.

There were so many successful steals in the first round.

Tim Rogers of You Am I beat Rhonda Burchmore in the final round to win the brass mug.

I watched it tonight too, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Am glad that it was an extended episode too. It was good watching the Has Beens laugh at themselves

Tom Gleeson has hard questions on tricky topics for hard quizzers like Nicola with her expertise in revolutionary Leon Trotsky; Josh, a fan of film franchise The Fast and the Furious; Jules who likes the fun fruit bananas; and Jarrod who can’t look directly at his topic, the sun.

Tom Gleeson offers a second chance at the Big Brass Mug to fans of rock band Goo Goo Dolls, cricketer Virat Kohli, online game World of Warcraft and classic film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory in a Battle of the Duds!
