10th February 2010
Big thanks to everyone who joined us for the February quiz last Wednesday. With 24 teams battling out it was one of our busiest months ever! And we're glad you appreciated our Half-Naked Hugh Jackman round, that guy really must have a clause in his contracts AGAINST appearing fully clothed. We really appreciate everyone who makes the effort to come up to us afterwards to tell us how much they enjoyed the evening, thanks guys! Winners pics and scores for everyone who took part can be found here.
We're ahead of the curve this month and March quiz is already in the bag. We'll give you some clues in the mailshot just before the quiz. For our Boogaloo audience, the next quiz date for your diaries is Wednesday 3rd March. But remember, if you miss the Boogaloo quizzes you can always catch us later in the month Upstairs at the Ritzy.
Whichever quiz you come to, we hope to see you soon!

30th January 2010
Sorry for the delay in updating the site with last month's scores. It's been a hectic month for us with lots of private events to run. But January's winner pics and scores for all the teams that took part can now be found here.
The February quiz is now ready and we've got some cracking questions for you. In the way of clues, you can count on soundtracks from 90s films, and, as a treat for the ladies (and possibly some discerning gentlemen), there will be a very special guest star appearance from Hugh Jackman. And since the Boogaloo February quiz falls on the 3rd this year, if you can work out the significance of the day before, you might have a clue as to what this month's 'counter' question will be.
Look forward to seeing you all at the Boogaloo on Wednesday!

6th January 2010
The snow is coming down quite heavily now in Highgate and, while the tube is running ok at the moment, we're concerned that it might not be running so well later and that people who have a way to go to get home after might find themselves in a pickle. And while there are worse places to be stuck than in the Boogaloo eating hot nuts and debating the wisdom of appointing Sam Mendes as director of the next Bond movie, we agreed that it would be sensible under the circumstances to reschedule.
So unfortunately we're gonna have to postpone tonight's quiz and instead we'll be running it on MONDAY 18th JANUARY, that's in just under 2 week's time. So plenty more time for you to revise those Russell Crowe films ;-)

3rd January 2010
HAPPY NEW YEAR! We hope you all had thoroughly festive festive breaks and are looking forward to another year of quizzing. The eagle-eyed among you may notice a slight change to the website: the big Bigger Boat Brixton button on the left. If you click on it, you'll find out how we are responding to all those cries of 'You're Gonna Need a Bigger Pub!' at The Boogaloo...
We hope to see you at one of the two showings of the first You're Gonna Need a Bigger Boat of 2010.
13th December 2009
Big thanks to everyone who joined us on Wednesday for our final quiz of 2009. What better way to celebrate the festive season than with a three-minute montage of carpet F-bombing courtesy of In The Loop's Malcolm Tucker. To find your team's score and position in the night's rankings (and for pics of all the winners) click here.
We wish you all a fantastic Christmas and New Year and look forward to seeing you again for the first quiz of 2010 on Wednesday 6th January.
2nd November 2009
Thanks to everyone who took part in last week's Halloween horror movie special; what an enthusiastic bunch you are.
The best part for us was watching everyone's facial expressions during the What Happens Next clips round, especially the eye-piercing scene from Zombie Flesh Eaters, a veritable classic!
Another sterling effort from Metro(Sexual)Dome saw them grab a conclusive blood-splattered victory, even without their lucky Chucky doll mascot. Click here to see them and the rest of the night's winners and a full list of all the teams who took part.
Our next quiz is on THURSDAY December 10th, when we'll be bringing you a review of the year's films, plus some Christmas-themed picture rounds. As it's a Thursday we'll have a late bar, so we do hope you'll be able to join us for a drink afterwards.
Hope to see you at the Boogaloo for our last quiz of 2009!

13th October 2009
Well, there were slightly fewer players this month but it was still very busy indeed. We're glad you seemed to enjoy having Steve Martin as a guest star... and enjoyed 57 seconds of vomit!
Well done to Metro(sexual)Dome who returned to glory with a very firm 89%! They dropped only two points on the second half, which is very impressive indeed. The results and winners' pics can be found here.
October was the last of our 'regular' quizzes for this year. Next up is our Halloween Horror Special; which we traditionally have before Halloween, in this case on Wednesday 28th October.

6th September 2009
Another quiz, another great crowd. A lot of high scores and all very close together made us worry we’d made it a little too easy for you guys but thankfully we were still able to throw most of you with quite a few of our trickier questions. You can see all the final scores and pics of our top three teams here.
Congratulations to those teams who managed to correctly identify Charlie Sheen’s ghostly motor from The Wraith on our 80s Cars picture round and at least one team that knew the INXS track was from Crocodile Dundee. And for those of you who still refuse to believe that 2 Live Crew’s Yakety Yak appeared in only one film – Twins – have a look here!
The next quiz will be Wednesday 7th October. If you haven’t already done so, why not take a look at our Facebook page or follow us on Twitter to get your pre-quiz clues each month.

6th August 2009
Blimey, and we thought July quiz was busy!
Massive thanks to the record 33 teams that packed out The Boogaloo last night (we’ll definitely print off more than 30 picture rounds next month). Despite a slight confusion in the STOP round over two prison films adapted from Stephen King books by Frank Darabont (I’m blaming the heat) I reckon it went off without a hitch. And great to see yet more new teams joining us, including The Pinheads, who managed second place on their first attempt, fantastic! We hope you all enjoyed yourselves. Final scores and winners’ pics are here.
Hope to see you all again next month (Wednesday 2nd September) for our annual 80s movie special, clues to follow a bit nearer the time.

19th July 2009
In a word - wow! Big thanks to everyone who was part of Wednesday's fantastic crowd, and great to see so many new faces. Our Fill in the Blanks picture round proved to be one of the trickiest yet, and we're glad you enjoyed our Rambo onscreen deaths montage - you lot are a bunch of sick puppies!
We know at the moment quite a few of you have to rush off at the end of the night to get home, so with this in mind - and seeing as the new advance purchase tokens were a fantastic success at speedy things up at the start - we're going to try and bring the start time forward a bit. The posters will now say 8PM START which means we'll begin collecting quiz tokens and giving out answer sheets at 8 o'clock and we'll run the onscreen intro as soon as we're ready to go. Hopefully those of you who do have rather far to go to get home will be able to hang out with us a little longer after the quiz has finished.
We're back to the first Wednesday of the month with our August quiz falling on the 5th. It's the usual mixed-bag of movies, no particular theme this time, and hints and clues will follow in our mailshots and Facebook invites. See you there!

27th June 2009
We’ve managed to hold off any price rises for over two years now but from next month quiz entry will be £2.50. It’s not really a case of “you’re gonna need a bigger wallet”; we think it’s a fair reflection of what we do (and hopefully you agree!).
To coincide with new price, next month (July 15th) will see a couple of other changes as well as the quiz is our annual Summer Blockbuster special, with more explosions, car-chases and cheesy one-liners than you can shake a Michael Bay-shaped stick at.
We have some awesome prizes for you, including a gigantic Hellboy figure for one lucky team to take away, plus from July onwards we'll be adding in two extra STOP! round prizes, meaning four people now get a chance to walk away with a prize... even if they can't win the main quiz.
Also from July quiz onwards you will be able to buy your quiz entry from the bar at your leisure while waiting for the quiz to start...
 |
So when you get your drinks in, ask for your quiz tokens. This means no more having to save your change for us (or us hunting for change for you) and it should speed things up when we come round with the answers sheets. We’ll simply collect tokens from those of you who’ve already paid and then accept the money off those who haven’t. Simples!
See you on the 15th...
4th June 2009
Thank you for the enthusaistic crowd at tonight's Disney•Pixar special - we had hoped to shake up the rankings, but we were pleased to find the quiz at least buoyed spiritis... and dirty humour! The results and winners' pictures can be found here.
To incorporate our summer holidays, the next quiz will be slightly later than planned on Wednesday 15th July and will be our most popular event of the quiz year: our Summer Blockbuster Spectacular.

31st May 2009
Hope you're enjoying the sun this weekend. We're looking forward to testing your knowledge of Disney and Pixar next week. In the meantime, we've given the website a little spring clean and we've also added (count 'em!) four new online picture rounds for you to have a go at, which can be found by clicking here. We're aiming to try and update these every month or two, so keep an eye out. And see you next Wednesday!
11th May 2009
Great to see so many of you at our birthday quiz last Wednesday; always good to have a nice big enthusiastic crowd! Well done to our three highest-scoring teams. For a list of all the final scores and the winners' pics (including winners of our special birthday bonus champagne) click here.
We're back at the Boogaloo on Wednesday 3rd June with a Disney/Pixar themed special - all your favourite sidekicks, princesses, songs, and surprisingly gruesome death scenes! Hope to see you there!

5th April 2009
Thank you to those who managed to make it up to Highgate in spite of the G20 protests. It was great to be back after our forced absence last month. The results and pictures of the winners can be found here.
The next quiz will be on Wednesday 6th May and will see us entering our sixth year of hosting the quiz. We'll be marking our birthday with some bonus questions about you lot (with a prize attached, naturally) along with an extra STOP! round and some more surprises. We'll hope you'll come along and wish us 'Happy Birthday!'

13th March 2009
The March quiz will be the quiz that never was. It's a terrible shame, but these things happen. Metro(sexual)Dome don't need to worry, though, this doesn't mean their bid for the record winning streak has been interrupted. We will be back on Wednesday 1st April (there isn't snow forecast!) and we hope to see you all then.

2nd March 2009
We're very sorry to say that we have no choice but to cancel this Wednesday's You're Gonna Need a Bigger Boat. The snow storms that hit the Eastern US last night mean I am currently in a New York hotel with no idea when I'll be getting back to Blighty... and while all the quiz content has been generated, there now isn't time to do the 'magic' in putting it all together.
This is the first time we've ever had to cancel a quiz and we're very annoyed! We hope you aren't too disappointed and we will be back on Wednesday 1st April.
8th February 2009
It was a cold night, but a warm crowd and February's quiz seemed to be enjoyed by one and all. Metro(sexual)Dome continued their winning streak and took first place again. That's three in a row for them now. We seem to recall their longest run (so far) was four in a row a couple of years back. Can anyone stop them? Full results from February's quiz are here.
We'll be back on Wednesday 4th March and we hope to see you all then.

20th January 2009
Happy New Year one and all! We were delighted to see so many of you braving the cold weather and empty bank accounts to join us for the first quiz of 2009. We were also delighted to see four or five teams enjoying their first ever quiz - we hope you'll be back for more!
In spite of the very difficult Soundtracks round, it was a close-run race with the top teams changing position between half time and full time. In the end, it was old favourites Metro(sexual)Dome who went home with the free tickets to the (recently refurbished and even more fabulous) Prince Charles cinema. A full list of winners is here.
We'll be back on Wednesday 4th February with another great quiz. We hope you'll join us to continue the great atmosphere from January.
