       The Barley Mow had struggled to get its quiz going again after Covid — and now there is a waiting list to take part.

       Fourteen teams a week pack out the Grade II-listed pub in Marylebone, West London — popular with actors and musicians.

       A different celeb hosts the “top ten” round via pre-recorded link, with Dench kicking off with the longest motorways in England. Last night, Calendar Girls actress Celia Imrie asked for the most successful tennis players by grand slams.

       Pub owner Will Norris, 44, a RADA graduate, said: “The first guest we had was Judi Dench because one of the guys who works here knows her daughter.

       Quizzers were asked for the ten most common chemical elements in the body by Bryan Cranston, who played a chemistry teacher turned drugs kingpin in Breaking Bad.

       The Christmas quiz, raising money for Shelter, is already sold out, though the identity of the celebrity question-master is still a mystery.

       Will said: “We don’t know who yet but we’ll get someone big in.”

       He told how it has a “sense of community” often missing from pubs in the capital.

       Will went on: “People are loyal to us and lots of our quiz teams come regularly — it creates a feeling of safety and acknowledgement.”？？
