Another stellar night of trivia saw a new champion crowned – Les Quizerables of BBC Guernsey held on through a fraught finish to be named Orchard Media Quiz winners for 2013. For the last two years the trophy has resided with Channel TV but this year, after a hard fought battle, it will be making its way across Television House into the BBC Guernsey Studio.
Taking an early lead with a flawless 15 out of 15 in the politics round (boosted by the use of their joker) Les Quizerables held on determinedly as their lead dwindled. Despite strong challenges from previous winners Channel TV and Orchard PR’s account executives in the end it came down to a nailbiting finish between Les Quizerables and Oscar Quiztorius, the team from Island FM.
A strong sport round from Island FM looked to have lifted them into the lead but Les Quizerables hung on to win by a solitary point.
Congratulations to team captain Jordan Allen and his colleagues Liz Mahy, Oliver Farrimond, Ollie Guillou and Mike Wilkins!
The unfortunate honour of the booby prize went to Universally Challenged from the Guernsey Press – who received a slightly fishy award…
