Broadcast

BBC Radio Ulster, 9 June to 28 July 2012 (8 episodes 1 series)

Synopsis

IQ/NI is a quiz about the life and culture of Northern Ireland. The resident captains are each joined by two celebrity guests, and are asked tricky posers about the past and present of Ulster.

Many of the rounds began with a question on the buzzers, followed by a series of linked questions. Was this a demonstration of the strength of the Irish diaspora, a Six Degrees of the Six Counties? Either way, this was an entertaining and insubstantial programme.
