Universally Challenged and Are We Live? book review:
Universally Challenged: Quiz Contestants say the funniest
things by Wendy Roby and Are we live? The funniest bloopers from tv and radio
by Marion Appleby book reviews
I bought these two as a set from The Book People and they
were the perfect antidote to the inclement weather on our recent trip to St
Bees. When the rain was beating down
upon our caravan and the kids were getting fed up, reading out the less outrageous
of these anecdotes worked a treat. Some
of them were ones I had heard before, but as they say ‘oldies can often be
goodies’ and some of the mistakes had me laughing out loud with tears running
down my cheeks.
Who would have thought American presidents, Jeremy Paxman
and obtuse contestants would come in so handy?
Hilarious 9/10
