The Answer Run | Preview (BBC One)

Jason Manford hosts this new BBC One daytime quiz where three pairs battle it out in a fast paced, quick-thinking general knowledge quiz show, where contestants are always one swipe away from banking the cash or crashing out.

The format is based on 50/50 decisions where each question can only fit into one of the two answers provided. However, faced with the pressure of The Answer Run, will the teams make the right call as to which way they will swipe their answers before they run out of time?

Answer categories will range from ‘Beyonce or Barbie’ to ‘Neptune or Mars’ through to ‘Football or Basketball’ and everything in between.

Teams will be eliminated throughout the show, until one pair remains who will have the chance to face The Answer Run one final time to attempt to take home the money they’ve banked during the episode.

This fun-filled series will be easy to play along to at home with the whole family.

Jason Manford comments, “I’m chuffed to bits to be back on BBC Daytime again with The Answer Run...

"I really feel like this is going to be one of those addictive TV quiz shows where you’re sat at home shouting at the telly because you reckon you could’ve done better! It’s fast paced, full of jeopardy and requires contestants to be able to make split-second decisions. But I promise we’ll have a laugh too.”

Rob Unsworth, Head of Commissioning for BBC Daytime comments, “Jason Manford is a firm favourite with viewers and the perfect host for this irresistible new quiz. It’s a brilliantly exciting format that builds to a real edge-of-the-seat finish, and we hope viewers will love playing along when it drops into our schedules later this year.”

The Answer Run (25x60') begins Monday 19th August on BBC One.
