I've had the connection time out three times...

I guess the BBC "News" Quiz has become so popular that their server's crashing...

1/7 but I'm pretty sure the answer to #2 was pure bullshit. Only misfits and ne'er-do-wales could possibly.... oh. Sorry

4/7, knew three, (and I take issue with the Neanderthal question...)

But more to the point, how can a " weekly news quiz" that doesn't have a single question related to the two indisputably biggest news stories of the week, (the Russian annexation of Crimea, and the disappearance of the Malaysian plane) rightly call itself a "news quiz"?

But on the other hand, they're right on top of the "What's Bradley Wiggins' favorite show ?" breaking news story ... :P

I suppose the whole point is it's aimed at the more obscure news items that appear on Auntie Beeb's webbythingie.

6/7 for me. I still listen to Radio Four too much :lol:

Fair enough...

Then let's stop calling this the "Weekly News Quiz" and start calling it the "Who listens to Radio Four Too Much Quiz" ...

You'll win First Prize every week... 8-)

No excuses people....
Can I listen from outside the UK?

You can listen to Radio 4 online anywhere in the world however there are some types of content where we are restricted from distributing overseas, usually because of sports rights. If this is the case then the live and on demand stream will be blocked to international audiences for the duration of that segment. International audiences will hear a message informing them of the rights restrictions in place.
The only thing you'll miss is the cricket coverage... I'm sure that there are some here who might think that was a blessing?
