Pick Your Fish.

What do you get when you shove about eight people in a small studio at 7am on a Friday morning? The answer is mayhem... And in the midst of all that mayhem, came Pick Your Fish...

There is no easy way to explain Pick Your Fish. Some might say its probably better not to explain it at all. Especially those who don't quite understand it at all. The game itself is riddled with history. Well okay, thats not quite true - its just a game people play when drunk... And on the air...

Perhaps the best way to understand Pick Your Fish is to go back in time to March 13, 1998, when we played the game... Your stars are Bods, Catherine, Edwin Brady, Stuart T, Iain, Lurch, Birdy and Cathy Aldridge.

The Enfisheriser

You can't play Pick Your Fish without the Enfisheriser - it's like putting vinegar on your chips but not salt! I mean, without it, the game is meaningless. But what does it do, I hear you cry... What doesn't it do is my reply. It gives you the scores for each fish, keeps a score and bleeps wildly!

Game One

We played Game One with Cathy Aldridge, from St. Mary's College. You can read the transcript of game one. If you must...

Game Two

The second of the days outings for this subliminal quiz came about ten minutes later, this time with Iain on the end of the phone, but if you weren't there on the day to enjoy it, don't despair as you can read the superb transcript.

The End

Despite the breakfast jocks begging us to take over their show and do Pick Your Fish for a few more hours, we decided to leave it and call it a day. Pick Your Fish never returned to the airwaves, but despite having only a limited airing, it quickly gained a cult following and is now on of the most played quiz games in student bars, narrowly beating Coinage.

It's also worth noting that the day of Pick Your Fish, was also the day when Gareth and Ieuen Wier, hosts of the Breakfast Show, called Andrew a legend. Coincidence? Surely not...
