C4 quiz with £100k prize – for just one right answer

CONTESTANTS can win £100,000 on a new game show – just by answering a single question correctly.

Channel 4 is offering the huge prize on its latest prime-time quiz One Question.

A pair of hopefuls sit on a sofa and are given the conundrum along with the right answer. The catch is that they also get 49 wrong responses and must use their powers of deduction to weed these out to reach the only correct solution. The quiz was described by executive producer Mike Benson as a ‘seemingly easy but actually devilishly difficult game’. It will be hosted by Claudia Winkleman, who is already the face of Strictly Come Dancing on BBC1 and the sound of Saturday mornings on BBC Radio 2. The 49-year-old presenter said: ‘I am ridiculously excited about One Question. There’s no time limit, no buzzers, no complicated rules.

‘A sofa, a chat, just one question that could win our players £100k. Not only that, we give them the answer. Tricky part is we give them 49 wrong answers too.’
