Did you miss the Heart quiz that took six months to get three answers?

I'd hope so considering that £1k is up for grabs!

Not sure how long Smooth have been running a £1000 minute, but Pirate FM have been running one for a while now. It's been going for at least a year that I know of.

Free Radio Birmingham also do a 1000 minute. In this past year, I can't recall the last person to win it.

I always felt that a rollover would be better but that would either dumb it down or make it damn right impossible to win

I have heard it quite a few times and only ever heard two winners.

There was a woman on last month who auditioned for The Chase and she didn't get to go thru to filming as they told her she was too hesitant. No s**t Sherlock, she stumbled through the minute and didn't even get to question 10

Heard some bloke win it this morning. I found that I could answer todays questions. Usually I can't answer them all.
So I think they must make the questions easier to get the occasional winner.

I believe the first station to do this was Star 107.9 in Cambridge.

But Global haven't got the cash either judging by their recent losses announced.

Thought the Clyde 2 Deadend competition in Scotland is harder to be honest! Think it up to 1300 quid or something (they add 10 every day) been going for a while!

I was sure of at least 1 answer on this mornings quiz seeing as Smooth played a link right after the 7am news confirming the answer to question 9 and giving a clue to the Golden Hour. I presume part of the show is VT'd then?

I got both of those, in fact I think I got 8 this morning, the John Betjemin one threw me and I said Alexander Graham Bell for the TV inventor but of course it was Baird

Mention Digital Spy and we'll all buy you a drink. Mention that Smooth may be no more come Christmas and we'll throw in some peanuts too
