Advantages: intelligent, interesting, high standard of questions

Disadvantages: uncharismatic presenter

Fitfteen-To-One is a game show on Channel 4, presented by William G. Stewart.

It is a show that begins with fifteen contestants standing in a semi-circle. They have to answer questions and get eliminated if they get the wrong answer, until there are only three people left who go into the final, to find the overall winner.

The questions are of a very high standard - more like Mastermind than Family Fortunes. It is not the sort of programme where the viewer will know all the answers, or even half of them.

It is a good, interesting show, but the presenter is extremely dull and uncharismatic. William G. Stewart rarely smiles, has the presence of a sour headmaster and the programme would be so much better with someone different in front of the camera. You would never believe he was instrumental behind the phenomenally successful Bless This House in the 1970s.

He is the producer of the show though, so is pretty much allowed free rein to present it. He is the only weak link though in a show which is very good overall.
