Day 52 - Wednesday 6th May 2020

Location: London, UK COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak Lockdown I have a funny relationship with quizzes.  I enjoy the testing of knowledge element of a quiz, but what I don't really enjoy is the competitiveness. Since lockdown I have done more quizzes than in the last 10 years, easily.  It's fun to get questions right but what I've really enjoyed is being together with friends and family over Zoom and having the regular contact with these important people in my life. It's my turn to help set the questions for the next family quiz - something I've never done before - and I'm looking forward to this new challenge!

Day 31 - Wednesday 15th April 2020

Location: London, UK COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak Lockdown Who watched Quiz? I thought it was great.  I saw the play in the West End a few years ago.  They gave every audience member a keypad (a la Fastest Finger First) and we were asked to vote half way through if we thought they were guilty or not and then again at the end. At the halfway point, it was approx 80% guilty.  By the end it was about 50%. Watching the TV show, I am still left wondering, as I think lots of other viewers were too, whether there had been a gross miscarriage of justice.
