Trivia
De IQ-Kwis, which is part of the series' plot, was a real-life TV quiz broadcast on the Belgian public TV channel between 1980 and 1994. Footage of Roger Sterckx participating in this quiz in the 1980s was shown in the series, causing many viewers to assume this was genuine archive footage. In reality the set of De IQ-Kwis was rebuilt during production of Quiz Me Quick and combined with old archive footage of the actual show. Former host Herman Van Molle recorded lines from the script, which was edited with trick photography.Awards and nominations
