IT'S NOT WHAT YOU KNOW

King of the game shows Chris Tarrant has a new quiz starting on Challenge TV from tonight (28 April) and running every weeknight at 9.00pm. It's Not What You Know is a jeopardy style show that follows a pair of contestants as they attempt to win big money. The aim of the game is to use skill, judgement and instinct to predict how a group of five celebrity experts answered a pool of questions in their own specialist subject – as well as general knowledge questions – under examination conditions. The 32 chosen experts range from writer Toby Young (film) to author Frederick Forsyth (history) and from news reader Michael Buerk (news) to entertainment journalist and TV presenter Jenni Falconer (showbiz).

To win money, contestants do not have to answer any of the 15 questions; instead, they have to correctly identify one celebrity from the group who got the question wrong. The amount of money increases by moving up five different levels and by playing for higher stakes.

Host Chris Tarrant made his name on the Saturday morning kids’ show Tiswas. After leaving the programme, Tarrant joined London radio station Capital, where he hosted the breakfast show for 17 years and bagged a coveted Sony Radio Award. However, he is best known for the show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? which was an instant hit when it first aired in the UK in 1998, and went on to become a global phenomenon, with over 20 other countries now airing their own version.

Speaking about It’s Not What You Know, Tarrant said: "I love the idea behind this show - it's exciting and fun and has contestants truly on a knife edge from beginning to end. I am sure the show will find a big following on Challenge."
