Presented by the broadcaster, writer and comedian Sandi Toksvig since Remedy launched a the rebooted series in 2013, nearly 300 episodes of Fifteen to One have been broadcast and the 8th series is currently on air – with contestants competing for the 40,000 prize in the Grand Final airing Friday 30th June, 3pm, Channel 4.

Remedy Productions’ Chief Creative Officer Tom Blakeson, says: “In its new 3pm slot, Fifteen to One has gone from strength to strength with the latest series seeing an increase in ratings and share. We’re delighted to further build on this success, continue working with the incredible Sandi Toksvig, and deliver a bright, engaging show for fans.”

Fifteen to One is a Scottish commission for Channel 4 and is produced from Remedy’s Glasgow office. Head of Remedy Scotland, Jim Regan, is executive producer and the series producer is Stuart Harrison.

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.

For more details, facts and figures on what it takes to make Fifteen to One, please read this blog by Executive Producer, Jim Regan.

Fifteen to One Series 8 is currently on air weekdays, 3pm on Channel 4 and the Grand Final is Friday 30th June. Filming for Fifteen to One Series 9 & 10 will begin later this year.
