QUIZ PROGRAMMES
Sir,-I should like to endorse the remarks of "Bowman" about quiz progtammes, A glaring example of inaccuracy occurred a few weeks ago when the answer to "Where is Sarawak?" was given»by the compere as "In the Dutch East Indies." Sarawak was never in the East Indies, but was formerly ruled by the three successive White Rajahs, and in 1946 became one of Great Britain’s tiewest colonies, If accuracy is not of first importance, then the quiz loses its point, even from the entertainment
point of view,
V.L.
