Mike Read is a radio broadcaster, television presenter and author. In the 1980's Read presented a Saturday evening music programme known as Mike Read's Pop Quiz. The show received large audiences of over ten million and featured famous pop stars and TV personalities of the era. The show asked guests to answer music trivia questions. The Mike Read Pop Quiz board game was a spin off of the show and asked players to answer music trivia questions correctly to move around the board to the finish.
