<p><b><i>Is That Your Final Answer? </i>is a celebration of the most jaw-droppingly stupid, embarrassing and unforgettably hilarious answers given by contestants on television and radio quiz shows.</b><br><br>We’ve all been there: you’re asked a question at a special event or work presentation; you have to say something, think fast, say anything! So you blurt out the first thing that comes in to your head, which turns out to be something <b>idiotic, embarrassing or just plain wrong</b>. So, imagine how much more intense that sense of panic must be if you are on a TV quiz show, under the bright lights, with a camera pointing at you and the studio audience giggling at your discomfort. Or live on the radio, with your foolish words being broadcast to everyone you know …<br><br>Like the contestant who, asked ‘<b>Which member of the crow family native to the UK has a bare face?</b>’ answered ‘<b>Russell</b>.’ Or another who, asked ‘What might a blind date conveniently forget to mention about himself,’ answered ‘He’s blind!’<br><br>One of the great pleasures of watching a quiz show is sitting smugly at home, shouting answers at the television and savouring the <b>brain fades and stunned reactions </b>that are celebrated in this book. So, sit back and enjoy the <b>wonderful laughs </b>to be found within – and perhaps spare a thought for the poor individuals who have suffered the excruciating embarrassment of actually having uttered them!</p>
