Description

Paul Sinha is proudly British.
He also loves a quiz. So the UK Citizenship Test, which newcomers to this country must pass to become citizens, would have been right up his street.
But the questions in the 2012 and 2013 Home Office guides seem either bizarrely easy - "Where is Welsh most widely spoken?" - or infuriatingly vague - "What happened in the First World War?"
So Paul has created his own test, to better reflect the things that aspiring migrants should understand before they can call themselves British.
In episode one he deals with the history syllabus, about the most important legal document in our history; the Patron Saints of the Home Nations; provides a guide to our twenty most important cities; and points out an historical error in the official guide.
The series intertwines the sort of comedy Paul has become known for.
Written and performed by Paul Sinha.
Producer: Ed Morrish
(series broadcast Aug 2013)
