Being up-to-date on current affairs and having vast reserves of general knowledge was a thing to be proud of in my day. We took pride in our knowledge and showed off to our friends when we learnt something new. For example, on the Monday after my regular Sunday-watching of the Bournvita Quiz Contest, I was busy quizzing my friends on the new stuff I had picked up from the show. Today, it seems that kids are more interested in playing video games than watching TV. Maybe if there was more interesting children’s content on TV, more kids would watch. I mean the BQC was an event in my house; we had fun, we learnt, we had a crush on Derek O’Brien and his obvious intelligence, we actually spent time with the family during that time. Maybe if shows like the BQC came back, kids would start paying attention to the important stuff – like being informed and educated Whilst being entertained. Here’s hoping that the folks of the BQC are reading this and planning a return to our screens.
