PopMaster TV | Series 3 Preview (More4)

The new series presented by legendary radio DJ Ken Bruce will feature more music, more questions and more opportunities for would-be pop aficionados to flex their music trivia muscles. In PopMaster TV, five contestants go head-to-head to test the depth of their music knowledge over a series of six knockout rounds.

The rounds include ‘Intros, Middles and Ends’, ‘Video Gaga’, ‘Pop Years’ and ‘It’s Only Words’, before two players progress to play ‘Original PopMaster’. The winner must then correctly tackle a ‘3 in 10’ if they’re to take home the PopMaster TV gold disc.

Based on the ionic radio quiz, which has been running for 25 years, the six-episode first series of PopMaster TV elevated More4 to the number one digital channel on weekdays at 8pm, averaging an audience of 760k, an increase of +565% on slot average and +471% on audience share.

Ken Bruce comments: “It’s a privilege to be returning to film two more series of PopMaster TV. It’s always lots of fun to meet pop music quizzers in the studio and put their knowledge to the ultimate test. This year we’ll be making the series in tribute to my great friend, collaborator and PopMaster co-creator, Phil Swern.”

The series launches with a celebrity special, where taking part will be Scarlett Moffatt, Ian Watkins, Hannah Cockroft, Eddie Kadi and Keith Brymer.

PopMaster TV returns Tuesday 7th January at 8pm on Channel 4.
