About Me
I am a question writer, researcher and AP who has set thousands of questions for many TV quiz shows. Using reliable sources I have set questions across a variety of subjects ranging from the very easy to the quite challenging. I have experience in compiling questions for episodes and have adjudicated during the recordings of shows.Professional Training

Angus worked as a Question Researcher on Weakest Link from 2004 until he took redundancy from the BBC in September 2011.
During this time, he became a well-respected, well-liked and very capable member of the team. As well as devising some excellent questions, he played a valuable role in compiling show scripts and demonstrated calmness and competence under pressure in studio.
While I worked with him at the BBC, Angus was always an enthusiastic volunteer, rarely absent, entirely reliable and completely trustworthy. His considerable general knowledge, combined with an ability to research material and substantiate its accuracy, meant that he was very well suited to his role.
