Tonight | Hard Quiz on ABC: dynastic China, Franz Kafka, Formula 1 and merino sheep collide – Hard Quiz brings dynastic China, Franz Kafka, Formula 1 and merino sheep into the same arena tonight.
The sharp mix of expert subjects is the appeal, with Tom Gleeson’s quiz format turning wildly different areas of knowledge into a head-to-head contest.
What To Expect
Contestants Zoe, Bridie, Dil and Mark take on the Big Brass Mug across topics that range from literature and history to motorsport and agriculture.
The episode keeps the series’ familiar rhythm: confident specialists, awkward wrong answers and Gleeson’s deliberately blunt hosting style.
For Wednesday-night ABC viewers, it is a compact comedy-quiz hit before the rest of the evening lineup.
About Hard Quiz
Hard Quiz remains one of ABC's sharpest comedy-quiz formats because the expert topics are so specific. The humour comes from confidence, pressure and the clash between contestants who know very different worlds.
Tom Gleeson keeps the pace deliberately blunt, but the show also rewards genuine knowledge. This episode's mix of history, literature, sport and agriculture gives the panel plenty of contrast.
The ABC broadcast gives viewers a straightforward way to follow the episode in sequence, while ABC iview keeps it available for catch-up after it has aired. That can make a difference during a busy week of premieres, finales and continuing drama episodes.
