What is the history of the pub quiz?
The pub quiz is believed to have originated from a company called Burns and Porter which would share its quizzes in the 1970s in order to encourage more regular visitors.
The regular pub quizzes saw pub numbers rise from 30 teams a week to a peak of 10,000 teams.
Burns and Porter went on to publish its own line of pub quiz books and would continue to host weekly quizzes.

BBC iPlayer removes Bob Vylan Glastonbury set after 'death to the IDF' chant
The BBC will not make the British duo's set available to watch on demand after they condemned Israel for their actions in Palestine. British music duo Bob Vylan have seen their Glastonbury set removed from BBC iPlayer after they expressed support for Palestine and condemned Israel during their performance. Bob Vylan took to the stage at Worthy Farm ahead of Irish trio Kneecap's eagerly anticipated set. But while Kneecap's performance has indeed made it to iPlayer after it was cut from live broadcast, Bob Vylan's will not be available to stream on demand. It comes after police reviewed footage of chants they had initiated during their pro-Palestine set, which was initially shown live on iPlayer and was then swiftly removed, reports The Mirror. One user on X remarked: "They've already took Bob Vylan's set off of the iPlayer don't expect to see Kneecap on there any time soon lmao." Another had said: "Someone better quick download that Bob Vylan set as there's no way that's staying on iplayer." A third had commented: "The BBC really thought they had it all covered by not live streaming Kneecaps set. Then comes along Bob Vylan." Another jibed: "Noticed the BBC haven't uploaded Kneecap and Bob Vylan's sets to iPlayer yet. Something they said?" During their set on Saturday, June 29, Bob Vylan sparked chants of "death to the IDF" [Israel Defence Forces]. The duo also vented their support for Palestine as a large message appeared on the screen behind them. It read: "Free Palestine. United Nations have called it a genocide. The BBC calls it a 'conflict'." Member Bobby Vylan then called out chants "Free Free Palestine" and "Death Death to the IDF," with the crowd shouting it back. He then said: "From the river to the sea Palestine must be, will be, free." Israeli forces have killed more than 56,000 people in Palestine since October 2023, with nearly a third of the dead under 18. Earlier this year, all food and aid was blocked from entering Gaza for around two months, leaving millions on the brink of starvation. More recently, aid distribution centres have been established in Gaza, but over 400 Palestinians have died at these centres, with many of them having been shot dead while trying to access food, reported Al Jazeera. At Glastonbury, Bob Vylan also shared their support for Kneecap as they went on: "Recently a list was released of people trying to stop our mates Kneecap from performing here today. "And who do I see on that f***ing list, but that bald-headed c*** I used to f***ing work for." Speaking about a colleague at a record company he used to work at, his comments were met by loud boos from the crowd. And he continued to say: "We're seeing some f***ed up things in the world. "We're seeing the UK and the US be complicit in war crimes and genocide happening over there to the Palestinian people. And I know we're on the BBC, we're not going to say anything crazy. Leave that for them lads, you know what I mean. "But unfortunately we have seen a strange reaction to people that come out and voice support for Palestine. Even though anybody with any moral compass can surely see that what is happening over there in Gaza is a tragedy." Bobby added: "We are not pacifist punks here over at Bob Vylan Enterprises. We are the violent punks, because sometimes, you have to get your message across with violence because that is the only language some people speak." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Emma Raducanu interview stopped after awkward Carlos Alcaraz question
Emma Raducanu interview stopped after awkward Carlos Alcaraz question The British No.1 was asked about rumours of a relationship with the Spanish star Emma Raducanu was asked about her friendship with Carlos Alcaraz (Image: ) Emma Raducanu has laughed off speculation linking her romantically with Carlos Alcaraz, insisting the pair are simply "good friends" as she prepares for her Wimbledon opener on Monday. The British No.1 will face teenage wildcard Mimi Xu in the first round and arrives at SW19 off the back of a run at Eastbourne. But much of the pre-tournament chatter has focused on her upcoming mixed doubles partnership with Alcaraz at the US Open later this year — and the possibility of a relationship between the two 22-year-olds. Raducanu and the Spanish world No.3 were spotted practising together at Wimbledon on Friday during an event with sponsor Evian. When asked in her pre-tournament press conference if the pair had discussed tactics for New York, Raducanu smiled: 'No, it was fun yesterday. "We were both on court with Evian. We were just getting some volley practice in ahead of New York. "I'm really happy to be playing with him — we had a good time.' Article continues below Inevitably, the conversation turned to rumours of a romance. Asked directly if there was any truth to the speculation, Raducanu laughed before replying: 'We're just good friends.' The moderator swiftly stepped in to say "we'll probably wrap it up, there", prompting more laughter from Raducanu, who joked: 'Way to wrap up!' Content cannot be displayed without consent Raducanu later reflected on their long-standing friendship, revealing they first got to know each other during her breakout run at Wimbledon in 2021. 'I've known him for years,' she said. 'In Wimbledon 2021, that was kind of the first time I started getting to know him, and then again at the US Open. "He would play the day before me and win, and I'd get motivation from that. "I remember when he beat [Stefanos] Tsitsipas — it was a big win for him, a breakout on a big stage. We were staying in touch the whole time.' She added: 'We still have a good relationship. He's obviously overtaken me by a lot, but it's nice to still have that connection. "I think those friendships from when you're younger mean a lot more — they're real and genuine. Article continues below "When things get busy and you have more friends around, you tend to go back to the people you've known the longest.'
