Hold Your Plums

Probably the most subversive quiz in the history of radio, Hold Your Plums ran for over a decade on BBC Radio Merseyside. The anarchic radio quiz featured many memorable moments. Presented by Billy Butler and Wally Scott, Hold Your Plums became a scouse institution.

Loved by people like Peter Kay and even meriting a mention on Parkinson, Hold Your Plums is the quiz that common sense forgot. All of the clips are of genuine contestants, and yes they really don’t know what the answers are. Do a search for “Hold Your Plums” and it’ll take you to the BBC Radio Merseyside site, where you’ll get to hear them. Priceless.
