Britain's Brightest Family

Revision as of 11:37, 4 February 2018

Host

Anne Hegerty

Broadcast

Gameface for ITV, 10 January 2018 to present

Synopsis

Anne Hegerty from The Chase hosts a family quiz with differences.

The family - a young captain, and two older relatives - answer questions on the buzzers. Unlike most other shows, this quiz isn't straightforward trivia, but uses pictures and graphics throughout.

The show opens and closes with a team round. One player buzzes in, and nominates another member of their team to answer the question. To show this, the nominated player's chair goes a little way up.

Going up.

In between, each player has a solo round. The subjects - words, mathematics, and logic puzzles - allow for more variety in the questions.

Scoring is also unusual: ten points for each correct answer, but if someone gives an incorrect answer, the points go to the other side automatically.

Anne Hegerty is at her best when talking to the families, firm and supportive. The show is light and brisk, helped by questions that are a cut above the trivial norm.

-: [[The Chase]]'s Governess, aka Anne Hegerty, is in the hot seat as she hosts a brand new 30-minute quiz show where sixteen brilliantly bright families from across the country take part in a knockout tournament to win the coveted title of Britain's Brightest Family and a holiday to the NASA space centre in Florida.

-: But all is not what it seems - there’s a twist. In this game it's not just what you know that's important but also what you think your family knows. Players must nominate a family member to answer the questions. How well do our families know each other? In this bright new series we'll find out.

-: Anne explains what the show is all about: "It's a knockout competition to find Britain's brightest family. Sixteen families going up against each other to face challenges including word and number puzzles, problem-solving and general knowledge skills.  Each team has been selected by its teenage captain, so it's a chance for the whole family to show what they know, and how well they know each other."

-We understand there will also be hydraulic armchairs, going up and down.
