QUESTION TEAM AXED BY UKTV AFTER TWO SERIES

Question Team, the gameshow format hosted by Richard Ayoade for UKTV's Dave channel, will not be returning for a third series, TV Zone understands.

The first series, which aired in 2021, was one of the top performing commissions on Dave in 2021, attracting an average audience of 397k and peaking with 563k for episode one. The second series followed in 2022.

Each episode sees three comedians join the Question Team. But they're not there to just answer the questions; they are the self-quizzing collective, and each guest must bring a unique round of questions, inspired by their own interests, for Richard Ayoade and the others to play.

The sole stipulation is that their questions have proper answers, otherwise what goes down during their game is entirely up to them. Comedians to have taken part including James Acaster, Bob Mortimer, Nish Kumar, Kerry Godliman and Desiree Burch.

Richard Ayoade's Question Team is available to stream now on UKTV Play.
