But the questions in MON the 2012 and 2013 Home Office guides seem either bizarrely MON easy - "Where is Welsh most widely spoken?" - or MON infuriatingly vague - "What happened in the First World MON War?". MON So Paul has created his own test, to better reflect the MON things that aspiring migrants should understand before they MON can call themselves British. In episode one he deals with MON the history syllabus, looking at what we know about the most MON important legal document in our history; the Patron Saints MON of the Home Nations; provides a guide to our twenty most MON important cities; and points out a historical error in the MON official guide. He also tests the studio audience on their MON knowledge, with those that answer incorrectly being MON deported. MON The series intertwines the sort of comedy Paul has become MON known for on The Now Show, The News Quiz, and Fighting Talk, MON as well as his own Radio 4 shows The Sinha Test and The MON Sinha Games, and the command of facts and figures he MON demonstrates on the ITV quiz show The Chase.

MON The novel is dramatised by Archie Scottney ('Something MON Fresh', 'Summer Lightning', 'Goldfinger', 'The Mysterious Mr MON Quin') and who once took 5 wickets for 36 runs. MON Martin Jarvis says: 'A joy to direct. The preposterous game MON of cricket at its heart leaps happily onto the air waves.
