How to write it so it lands

  • Read the film questions without the answer sheet in front of you or your face gives it away.
  • Don't do more than two rounds from the same subject in one night.
  • Use a picture round for films if you can print - it's the easiest round to make.

Frequently asked questions

What are good TV and film quiz questions?

Mix eras and difficulty: a few soap and sitcom questions everybody knows, a few blockbuster film questions, then three or four harder ones on directors, awards or fictional place names as the tiebreakers.

How many questions should a TV round have?

Ten. It takes about seven minutes to read and mark, which is the right length before people want a drink or a different subject.

How do you make a film round fair for all ages?

Split it by decade rather than by genre - two questions each from the 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s - so no single age group sweeps the round.

What is a good example of tV and film quiz questions?

"In which fictional Yorkshire village is Emmerdale set? Answer: Emmerdale (originally Beckindale)." is one of 30 examples on this page. Pick the one closest to the tone you want, then add a specific detail of your own - a shared memory, a date, a name - so it reads as yours rather than copied.
