WEDNESDAY 4 FEBRUARY 8.00 PM
Where else but Hard Quiz would you see experts on topics as unlikely as noodles, tennis legend Stefanos Tsitsipas, the Somerton Man, and US drama House MD all on the same show, competing for nothing more than a brass mug and bragging rights?
Tom Gleeson puts another set of contestants through their paces – and through the wringer.
WEDNESDAY 11 FEBRUARY 8.00PM
Four experts, four rounds, but only one Big Brass Mug. Contestants go head-to-head while dodging insults from host Tom Gleeson in a contest where only the hardest survives.
And it’s another crazy lineup of topics with experts in Australian funnel-web spiders, the State of Origin, the P-51 Mustang, and US sitcom The Nanny. There’s never a dull moment in this episode of Hard Quiz!
WEDNESDAY 18 FEBRUARY 8.00PM
Tom Gleeson and his Big Brass Mug are under siege from another four contestants with eclectic
expert subjects:Lindy with the Holden Racing Team, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu expert Blake, Eimile who’s into Geordie Shore, and Siamak, who’s lotioned-up and ready to go with Silence of the Lambs!
TV Cynic….I love ur work, I quote u almost daily….please, for the love of (Maud) STOP updating these press releases, they are justifying yet another government job that is completely useless/overpaid
anyway after reading that interesting message
…he’s just posting the episode synopsis for the episode of an average rating show for the ABC, same as any other network? It just gets posted for information purposes in their respective threads
Some of us are happy to see the updates.
If it doesn’t interest you just mute the thread
That will mean Hard Quiz’s mid-season finale is Wednesday 25 February.
A mid season finale already? At the end of February? Now we know why this season started so early. To make room for the new Tonight at the Museum show - that goes into that slot.
WEDNESDAY 25 FEBRUARY 8.00 PM
Tom Gleeson hosts the quiz show where the only prizes are glory and a Big Brass Mug. Which contestant will triumph this week: Darcy with his appreciation of Highgate Cemetery, Sarah, who goes deep with psychedelics, Emily with her die-hard appreciation for Die Hard, or Shane and his love of Kelly Clarkson?
Yippie ki-yay, it’s time to play HARD!
The man next to Tom in this week’s episode was journalist Tanveer Ahmed, according to The Guardian Australia’s Amanda Meade in her media column today. Tanveer’s special subject was noodles.
Amanda wrote that Tanveer managed to be the first person in the history of the show (according to Tom) who forgot to push his button before answering his first question.
He wasn’t just a journalist, he was also caught out as being a plagiarist.
And he was also the “referee” on the short-lived National Bingo Night.
he wasn’t the first to do that. It’s happened lots of times. But I think the “first” was that not only that he missed buzzing, that the next contestant still got the question wrong, even though the “expert” had literally handed her the answer.
He is also a psychiatrist and would be Liberal politician and appears on Sunrise, hence Tom’s joke about Matt Shirvington.
Now that was a blast from the past. And a very short lived show.
90s kids host James Sherry and now “the referee from National Bingo Night” have now appeared on Hard Quiz. There should be an episode of Hard Quiz called “Hard Quiz: Battle of the D-listers”. lol.
I won’t say it.. but everyone knows his catch phrase from that show.
