How long has The Big Quiz been going?
The show has been an audience favourite since all the way back in December 2011. It started out as Coronation Street vs Emmerdale, before shaking things up over the next few years.
Starting in January 2016, the quiz has returned to being a competition between the two flagship ITV soap operas and has been broadcast yearly. It features at some point over the festive period each and every year.
The 2025 edition arrives a bit earlier than in previous years, being broadcast on Monday, December 15. It aired on December 23 last year and on December 28 in 2023, for reference.
