Fifteen To One to Return to Channel 4

10 December 2013

Channel4’s Entertainment Commissioning Editor, Madeleine Knight has green lit a new run of Fifteen To One, from Remedy Productions, following its one off special for C4’s 80s Night. Fifteen To One is a fast-paced, relentless battle to survive TV’s toughest general knowledge quiz. Fifteen contestants start the game, only one can win. 

The commission includes four celebrity specials hosted by The Last Leg’s Adam Hills, where we’ll see fifteen celebrities go head to head as they battle it out to win the notoriously tough quiz show. Comedian and broadcaster Sandi Toksvig will take over the helm of Britain’s brainiest quiz for 20 episodes and will hit the road to find the very best quiz champions, with a move to daytime.

Adam Hills said: “I am thrilled to be part of the ongoing institution that is Fifteen To One. The celebrity specials combine two of my favourite things - general knowledge questions, and the chance to watch well-known people try not to make dicks of themselves in public”

Sandi Toksvig added: “I'm thrilled to be taking up the mantle of hosting Fifteen To One. It is a legendary quiz show with tough questions. I'm glad I'll be asking not answering. I'm also delighted to be back at Channel 4.”

Madeleine Knight said: “We're delighted to have such a beloved show back on Channel 4. Auditions are touring the country soon to find Britain's smartest quiz minds to battle for the title of Fifteen To One champion.”

Remedy Productions’ Chief Creative officer and Executive Producer, Tom Blakeson said: "It's fantastic to be making more Fifteen To One for Channel 4 following the success of the celebrity special earlier this year. We're really looking forward to introducing a whole new generation to this compelling format and, with Adam and Sandi, we’re delighted to have two brilliant and very funny hosts on board.”

Played over three rounds, the Fifteen To One contestants simply have to avoid elimination. To do that they not only have to answer questions correctly, they must also decide which of their opponents to nominate to put under the question spotlight and it’s this tactical game play that makes Fifteen to One more than just a quiz.
