In this time of uncertainty and worry a Co Down man is trying to keep those in Northern Ireland in good spirits.

Mark Hughes, from Rostrevor, has set up a live streaming pub quiz online, and is asking friends and families to take part in the fun this weekend.

On Saturday, The Big Nerd Pub Quiz will be testing knowledge on sci-fi, comics, cult television, animation, games and music.

And it'll be streaming live on YouTube at 8pm and is free to enter.

More than 100 people have already signed up to take part in the online quiz.

Mark told Belfast Live: "With everyone either self-isolating or practicing social distancing in this time of Covid-19 I thought that this would be a great idea to bring people together without them having to leave the house.

"I am a quiz fanatic and have already appeared on TV shows such as Channel 4's 15 to 1 with Sandi Toksvig and Sky One's King of the Nerds with Konnie Huq.

"I figured if I was going to be staying indoors for quite a long time it would be something to distract people from having to watching the same old box sets on Netflix.

"If it goes well hopefully we'll continue to do more of these and bring people together."
