Here’s a fun little curio FOTB Alex bought up on Twitter yesterday, an Irish RTE kids quiz called Quizone from around 2007. In it, three teams of five school friends must find the answer to a question (a bit chestnutty, but probably quite difficult if you’re of the age) using books and “the Quizone.tv Safe Search engine” whilst one of their number races around an adventure playzone as fast as possible, also hoping to find the golden snitch bonus ball in one of the bins located around the course, and hoping their team will have researched the right answer by the time they get to the finish line. Seconds equal points, but only the first team back with the right answer gets to bank anything.
The presentation is hilariously dramatic, but the music is fairly banging and the absolute highlight is the ten-year-old kiddy politics that run through it all, and the complete lack of tact on display despite the fact you can tell they’re trying quite hard to be tactful.
Ah yes… I remember watching this one when it was on. I was scared of it though and it wasn’t really something I wanted to apply for because of the zone above all else, let alone the standard of the questions…
