RealMedia: Give Us A Break


Give Us A Break

Based on Give Us A Break as used by DJ Dave Lee Travis which in turn was based on snooker.

The Pub Quiz arcade machine was a general knowledge quiz and didn't have much to do with snooker.

The questions were quite difficult and required an element of knowledge but the players were often people who had spent their whole lives avoiding education! Those with a grammar school up-bringing would play the game late on Sunday or on Monday, when there was a bigger bounty to be won.
