It’s a Battle of the Duds again this week on Hard Quiz.

Tom Gleeson invites four failed former contestants back to humiliate themselves all over again, in the hope that one of them can take home the Big Brass Dud Mug.

Returning are born-again bikie Peter, whose expert subject is the film Easy Rider; Maria with her knowledge of masked hero, The Phantom; Allan, a fan of jazz impresario Miles Davis; and Chloe, who knows a disturbing amount about Adolf Hitler.

8pm Wednesday on ABC.

  1. This used to be a good, fun show until the contestants all started dressing in costumes to reflect their special subject and trying to best the host with smart ( unfunny ) comments.

  2. David I appreciate all your work that’s put into this outstanding site and wasn’t aware you didn’t know about this weeks Hard Quiz being a milestone episode. I have had difficult time recently and would rather not get into talking about it.

  3. David what you didn’t mention in the article is that it’s the 200th episode of Hard Quiz. The subjects don’t interest me. Never seen Easy Rider, haven’t read a Phantom comic, jazz music not my favourite music genre and Adolf was evil.

      1. From Fetch on screen guide: “The 200th episode is a Battle of the Duds!” Easy Rider has good casting and Phantom movie adaptation stars great actor Billy Zane.

          1. David I think you do a great job informing…..you can only please some of the people some of the time….but not all the people all the time…

  4. I’ve watched many a battle of the duds episode and unless I’m very much mistaken all of the contestants appear to be there voluntarily with some ever revelling in their ‘dud’ status.

  5. If e.g. Sky News had a show called “Battle Of The Duds”, identifying losing contestants as “duds”
    the ABC would be screaming lack of respect.

    Double standards –
    Do as I say, not what I do.

    You say but it’s only comedy?
    Many comedians have found themselves in hot water for saying things meant only “in jest”
