Brian 'Huggy' Farmer tells it like this...
Three years ago, I took on The Chase, where I won GBP9,000 in the Cash
Builder. Instead of sticking with that amount, I chose to take the
Chaser's offer of GBP54,000, adding to a total of GBP 66,000 for our team of
three. In this book, I share fascinating, weird, and funny facts that
will not only make you more knowledgeable but also help you become the
most interesting person at any party. Ready to level up your trivia game
and impress your friends? This book is for you!
About Huggy..
It all started with a weird fact. I've always been fascinated by the things that nobody else seems to know. Over the years, I've been the guy who shows up at pub quizzes and often ends up winning - so much so that I had to lose a few on purpose just to keep my spot in the locals! One day, I thought, "Why not take this to the next level?" So, I signed up for The Chase, and to my surprise, I got the call to appear on TV. After my experiences on the show - and ultimately beating the Chaser - decided to write a book to share all the quirky facts and knowledge I've picked up along the way. And here we are today.
