UK TV Quiz Questions and Answers

British television has given us sitcoms we still quote, dramas we still argue about and children's programmes that half the country can sing the theme tune to. This page gathers every UK TV question we've set on Astuto, with the answer and the background.

You'll find questions about how famous shows began, who made them and the details that only the people paying attention will remember. Not "Who's the presenter?" but the story behind the screen: the first broadcast, the logo, the character that nearly didn't happen.

Each question has four options and one right answer. Try it before you reveal the answer, then read on. The explanation is where you'll find the part worth repeating to whoever's on the sofa next to you.

We add new TV questions every week as part of our question of the day. If you grew up with the telly on, this is your page.
