Broadcast

Agenda TV for S4C, 2 August 1993 to 16 September 1999?

Synopsis

Popular nightly quiz show with varying cash prizes of £5,000 to £10,000 on offer. A contestant (known in this case as a 'Banker') chose one person from a panel of fifteen who asked riddles, but one of these panelists said Jacpot, meaning that if they answered their question correct, the panelist and the banker would go on to play for the big cash prize. The Jacpot question could only be asked after five ordinary questions (worth £50 each) but each question answered after the 'Jacpot' had been found was worth £100. An incorrect answer meant that the player asking and the Banker swapped places.
