Hard Quiz Special
Wednesday 18 December 8.00pm
Neighbours does Hard Quiz! It’s Christmas on Ramsay Street, and four residents of Australia’s most beloved cul-de-sac battle it out for the gift of Tom Gleeson’s Big Brass Mug.
Stefan Dennis (aka Paul) dons his tux to tackle James Bond. Georgie Stone (aka Mackenzie) is armed with her knowledge of sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine. And does Alan Fletcher (aka Dr Karl) know more about The Doors than Madeleine West (aka Dee) does about Fleetwood Mac?
On this merry special episode, you can find the perfect blend.
Wow. Good to see the cast of Neighbours on this show. Tom will certainly dish out some digs about the show, its ratings, its axing a year (or two) ago. lol.
Curiously, is this the first “celebrity” edition? Or has there been others?
There has been a few - there was one featuring the cast from Mad at Hell at the end of 2022, and another general celebrity one at the end of 2019.
Here’s some - a Christmas tradition.
Thanks for the quick response. Didn’t realise it was a once a year sort of thing.
Audience tickets to series 10 are now available from Eventbrite website.
