This is one of the finer specimens of the modern quiz show genre. It's host, Adam Hills, and his two team leaders, Alan Borough and Myf Warhurst, are both full of character, energy and vibrant, but also full of interesting knowledge as well as that of their four guests, two on each team, each Wednesday. The show has remained fresh, and in a Simpsonesque manner, has simply added and added to it's quality and enjoyability. Such segments (some interchangeable) as 'Musician or Serial Killer' where teams are shown a photo in black and white and asked the question, or 'Cover Versions' where teams have to draw an album or song on paper in a short space of time, are both unforgettable and can lead to fascinating insights (both for music fans and others) into the modern human culture. All in all a brilliant show that by miles beats to a pulp such contenders of the quiz show as 1 Vs 100 and Deal or No Deal (which despite being great at the beginning, is beginning to lag). Ten Stars, and hopefully at least that many new seasons.
