Sky are making a new quiz show, if you want to get involved e-mail quizshow@bskyb.com – thousands on the line apparently.
A friend of the Bar has suggested it’s based around true or false questions – ten people answer to build a collaborative pot, at various points during the game people can take buy-outs, and that you can also get eliminated in L’Eredita-esque duels where one person is chosen at random to get someone else to answer a question with challenger or challengee getting knocked out depending on the outcome. Last one standing takes the lot.
From the theory I can’t say I’m in love with it – picking someone to answer a question tends to be a massive disadvantage for the challenger, suspect L’Eredita pegging it to performance might be better. Otherwise it sounds like an hour of T/F questions with not much original holding it together.
Could well be wrong though, sometimes it’s dangerous to infer things from a basic outline. But most of the time it tends to be correct.
