A New Year's edition broadcast on 2nd January 1992 featured Paul Coia, Jakki Brambles, Lorraine Kelly, John Leslie, Elaine C. Smith and James Macpherson. Apparently "includes a karaoke round" - lumme!

I did this quiz in 1986. Coincidentally and unknown to me, my uncle Jim Brunton also entered. We both reached the final and subsequently co-wrote two quiz books, including The Scottish Quizbook, which made the bestseller list. We also compiled weekly general knowledge and sports quizzes for The Scotsman. Sadly Jim, who was a veteran of such shows as TV Brain of Britain, died a few years ago. Since then I have done A Question of Genius, Mastermind and Postcode Challenge. My son recently made his tv quiz debut. I guess we probably have a decent claim to being Scotland's pre-eminent quiz family.

A Superscot quiz book was published by BBC Books.
