  • Fifteen to One was a popular general knowledge quiz show on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom, that ran from 4 January 1988 to 19 December 2003 that had a reputation for being the toughest quiz on TV. Repeats of the final series used to be shown on Challenge. Throughout it was presented and produced by William G. Stewart. Some 30,000 contestants appeared on the show. It was notable for having very little of the chatting between host and contestant that is often a feature of other quiz shows. The basis of the show was devised by John M. Lewis, a former sales manager for British Telecom. He submitted the idea to Regent Productions who developed the programme into a 30 minute format. Originally, there were 20 starting contestants but the figure was cut down to 15 in order to fit the available running time. The number varied in other countries: in Poland, the number is 10 as the questions are longer in Polish. “Jeden z dziesięciu”, The Polish version of Fifteen to One, continues to be broadcast on channel TVP (Telewizja Polska) and is firmly established as the channel's top rated quiz show [http://www.jedenzdziesieciu.tvp.pl/]. Also, the German version on Sat.1 used 10 contestants. At the start of the grand finale of the 35th and final series, William G Stewart provided some statistics about the show, stating that nearly 350,000 questions had been asked to 33,975 contestants in a total of 2265 programmes.

  • Jeder gegen Jeden war ein halbstündiges Wissensquiz des Senders Sat.1. Vorbild war die britische Quizsendung 15 to 1. Die Sendung lief von 1996 bis 2001. Moderator war zuerst Hans-Hermann Gockel, dann der wesentlich jüngere Ex-MTV-Moderator Holger Speckhahn. Zwölf, ab 2000 nur noch zehn Kandidaten standen im Halbkreis, im Mittelpunkt befand sich der Moderator, der den Teilnehmern Fragen stellte. Jeder, der richtig geantwortet hatte, durfte sich einen Mitspieler aussuchen, der dann die nächste Frage beantworten musste. Bei einer falschen Antwort erlosch eines von drei Lämpchen am Pult des Kandidaten. Waren alle drei Lichter erloschen, schied der Teilnehmer aus. Die drei letzten verbliebenen Kandidaten mussten in einer 2. Runde erneut gegeneinander antreten. Die Sendung war Lieferant für Szenen, in denen Kandidaten peinliche Antworten auf die Fragen gaben. In der Sendung TV Total gab es speziell hierfür die Kategorie Superbrain, in der auch Sendungen wie Der Schwächste fliegt vorkamen. Nachfolgeshow wurde die kurzlebige Sendung Quizfire. (de)
