Pub Quiz

This comedy genius that is John Sparkes. This show takes the character of Frank Hovis, who has previously been played by John Sparkes and introduces him as an alcoholic game show host. At time of writing there have been two series of the show (the first has Frank slightly more smartly dressed than in series 2) and it has only been shown via BBC 2W, the satellite version of BBC2 intended for Welsh viewers.

Each week, three famous contestants (normally in some way associated with Wales: rugby players, Welsh TV presenters etc.) battle it out against 3 members of the public answering sometimes ridiculous and crude questions from Frank Hovis and his female assistant, Sophia Gardens. The town of ridicule in this show is Rhyl, about which Frank makes at least 4 or 5 jokes a week. His previous character of Barry Welsh from "Barry Welsh is Coming" joked only a weekly basis about Fishguard.

This is a very funny show and it definitely worth watching if you can get a chance. Despite the jokes often being very crude indeed (this is often branded toilet humour), this show is extremely funny and a must see.
