Paul Sinha's Citizenship Test

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.

He starts with the history syllabus, looking at what we know 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 a historical error in the official guide.

He also tests the studio audience on their knowledge, with those that answer incorrectly being deported.

The series intertwines the sort of comedy Paul has become known for on The Now Show, The News Quiz, and Fighting Talk, as well as his own BBC Radio 4 shows The Sinha Test and The Sinha Games, and the command of facts and figures he demonstrates on ITV's quiz show The Chase.
