It doesn't call itself Quote-Unquote, and it has a different (but equally smug) presenter. I think it's called the Book Quiz, or something like that, and it really is the same format: a load of smug literary arseholes using the thin veil of a "panel game" to show off how many works of great literature they've read.
"Well, I think it was Dostoevsky that said *SMUG AND PSEUDO-MEANINGFUL QUOTE FROM DOSTOEVSKY'S LETTER TO THE GAS BOARD*"
THE AUDIENCE LAUGHS FOR FEAR OF LOOKING IGNORANT. OR BECAUSE SOME OF THEM REALLY ARE SUFFICIENTLY UP THEMSELVES TO FIND THAT FUNNY.
"Ah, yes, much as Hardy said *OOH LOOK AT ME, I'VE SPENT SO LONG LICKING THE RINGPIECE OF OUR LOCAL LIBRARIAN THAT HE SHOWED ME THE POEMS HARDY WROTE WHEN HE WAS A 16-YEAR OLD EMO WHO HAD NOTHING TO DO BUT CRY, WANK AND COUNT HIS SPOTS ALL DAY*
THE AUDIENCE BURSTS INTO PAROXYSMS OF LAUGHTER AT THE WITTICISM OF THIS QUOTE. NORMAL PEOPLE WOULD FIND IT SUFFICIENT TO LAUGH AT THE WORD "HARDY." WHY IS THIS SMUG PILE OF HORSE-SHIT ALLOWED TO CONTINUE?
