One of my favourite quiz shows, Quote… Unquote, has returned to Radio 4 for a new series. Here are a couple of highlights from yesterday’s broadcast:
- The last words of Emiliano Zapata, that leading figure in the Mexican Revolution, were, reportedly, “Don’t let me die like this, say I said something”
- Jewish people have a great way with curses. One member of the panel quoted “May all of your teeth fall out except one, from which you should suffer eternal toothache”
I shall look forward to more in this vein during the coming weeks.
