I auditioned for Fifteen-to-One when I was at uni and it was Philip, the voiceover guy, who took the audition. First thing he said to us was "Sorry it's me and not William".

The only question I got right was one about The Daily Mail  

I was also supposed to do an audition for 100% but it was in Wrexham and fuck that.

I also auditioned for 15-1 when I was 20 and I thought I knew everything. Luckily for me it was William asking the questions. I don't know what it was like for Dev, but for mine it was set up like a game of 15-1 and they called people up in turn to play a game. I was in the first game, answered questions as they came no worries and got through to the final 3. They didn't take it any further than that. I was selected to go on and lost my 3 lives to questions on ballet, classical music, and opera. Still weaknesses of mine in quizzes to this day. 

I was also on Test The Nation. I regret not walking off it to this day because Piers Morgan was on it.

Every time I’ve applied for a show, it’s always been handled by that “eTribes” company, is a 20-page questionnaire that wants to know everything about you, and just can’t be arsed.

My Dad appeared a couple of times on long forgotten Channel 5 quiz show 100% in the late 90's. He got given a complimentary bottle of champagne for being the highest scoring loser in history, which was the most on brand thing that could have possibly happened.

Twitter just threw this at me:

I remember him in The Bill, but his prolific football career passed me by entirely.

[ReturnOfTheMack]

I met him a few years back when I worked in theatre, seemed a really nice, friendly chap.

[DavidB6937]

I showed him round my school for an open evening once. He always did stuff for the local area. Always seemed like a great guy.

"You have the right to remain raucous" is a blinding tag line to be honest.

This will be "knowing" and all "wink wink, we know it's a bit naff really" and THAT'S what will make it shit.

Hate things like that. Tongue in cheek is fine, but this? Not for me Clive.

100% was fantastic. A real man’s quiz. Summerslam to 15-1’s Wrestlemania.

Ian Lygo is one of the great heels in history. So much heat they had to ban him in the end.

100% was also one of the territories and indies that the wonderful heel CJ, who didn’t kill anyone, cut his teeth on. I love CJ, me.

It's a shame that Revenge of the Egghead spin-off that BBC tried to do as sort of their version of The Chase, with CJ as the Egghead "chaser", didn't take off.
