About: Cleverdicks

An Entity of Type: television show, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Cleverdicks was a British television quiz show for Sky Atlantic, hosted by Ann Widdecombe. Running for 30 episodes, it was later repeated on Challenge. Four contestants competed in each episode for the right to call themselves "cleverdicks" and play for a roll-over cash jackpot. As explained by Widdecombe at the beginning of the first episode, a cleverdick is a person who is "irritatingly and ostentatiously knowledgeable or intelligent." The question material was therefore primarily academic in nature.

dbo:abstract	Cleverdicks was a British television quiz show for Sky Atlantic, hosted by Ann Widdecombe. Running for 30 episodes, it was later repeated on Challenge. Four contestants competed in each episode for the right to call themselves "cleverdicks" and play for a roll-over cash jackpot. As explained by Widdecombe at the beginning of the first episode, a cleverdick is a person who is "irritatingly and ostentatiously knowledgeable or intelligent." The question material was therefore primarily academic in nature. The show deliberately featured Britain's top quiz players, including former contestants on other quiz shows. The first edition featured future 'Egghead' Steve Cooke and future 'Brain of Britain' David Stainer. The first established cleverdick was Rob Hannah, who reached the final several times and beat several other top quiz players including Alan Gibbs (who also was in a team that won), Nic Mortimer (the youngest contestant of the series) and Brian Pendreigh (who was in the news after Eggheads a few weeks before - which his team won).
