Comedian contestants will write each show's questions
TV channel Dave has ordered a full series of a new quiz show fronted by Richard Ayoade.
Chortle reported back in September that the Crystal Maze host was piloting the format in which the comedian contestants also write the questions for their opponents.
Now broadcaster UKTV has confirmed eight hour-long episodes of Question Team are due to air this year.
Ayoade said in typically understated manner: ‘I have agreed to be in this show and, for now at least, it looks like it’s going ahead.’
The premise is that contestants each bring in a round, inspired by their own interests, for Ayoade and the others to play. The sole stipulation is that their questions have proper answers, otherwise what goes down during their game is entirely up to them.
