Newest Review: ... competitor a question in turn. In the first round if they got their question wrong, one light would go off. In the next part of this round if they got their second question wrong as well, both remaining lights would go off and that person would sit down - be out of the game. The next round would see remaining competitors with either two or three lights still lit (lives) depending on how well they did in the first round. Competitors effectively knocked each other out by nominating the next person who should answer a question. Getting a question wrong resulted in a light being extinguished, until a competitor had no more lights left, thus end... more

This is a much missed teatime favourite. No I am not talking about Kit Kats or fondant fancies or tunnocks teacakes. I am talking about a quiz show hosted by William G Stewart - a bit of a ladies man by the looks of things, him being a little suave.

The competitors were arranged in a semicircle, each behind their own poduim, which displayed three lights. William G would go around te semicircle asking each competitor a question in turn. In the first round if they got their question ...  Read the complete review

Fifteen to One was a popular general knowlege quiz show that I used to watch regularly in the evenings when it was broadcast for fifteeen years between 1988 and 2003. It was shown on Channel 4 and was hosted by Willam G Stewart. I thought it was one of the toughest quiz shows around at the time and very challenging. It was also pretty interesting hence it's long run on TV I guess. Over the course of the show some 30,000 contestants appeared and there were thousands upon thousands of questions asked. The thing I liked about the show was there was very little chatting between the host and the players which meant it was almost purely focused on the game ...  Read the complete review

It was hosted by William G Stewart and was considered to be a very prestigious quiz to win with the overall series winner receiving an ancient artifact as the prize. The show begins with 15 contestants, and in round 1 each contestant is asked 2 questions, if they get them both wrong they are eliminated. The remaining contestants progress with either 3 lives (if they got both questions correct in round 1) or 2 lives (if they got one question correct in round 1) intact.

Fifteen to One is a general knowledge quiz show hosted by William G Stewart. It is a Channel 4 programme featuring 15 contestants, each with three lives, and they have to answer three rounds of questions until they are dwindled down to one person, who is the winner and who attempts to achieve a high score to return at the end of the series to beat the best of the best. The first round of questions progresses to each contestant in turn. If they answer incorrectly, they lose a life. They then have a second question each. If they answer the second question incorrectly as well, they are out, and lose both lives. If they managed to get the first question right but ...  Read the complete review
