Best quiz ever, 21 June 2004
Author: agra_94 from lisburn, northern ireland

This is one of the most original quiz shows i have ever seen. Points are awarded on the percentage of the public got a question wrong, so the points awarded are truly fair. Played with the light humor offered by Tim Brooke-Taylor and Graeme garden, it isn't as heavy (or as dated) as those like the weakest link or who wants to be a millionaire? Also, it's very interesting to see how clever Britain's public actually is. It's just a shame that channel four's schedulers have decided to put it on when only the unemployed and those on study leave can see it. The last round is particularly good. The first question is one which 90 to 100% got right, the second 80-90 and so on. If you don't get it right, they carry on from the same set until you get one right.
