Synopsis
H-h-hold the phone! Yes folks, it's the balloon debate on TV! That must have saved a few quid on format fees.
For those of you that don't know, this is a traditional debating game where people from history are said to be in a deflating balloon that can only withstand the weight of one person. Each balloonist (member of the public representing a giant from history) must justify their existence based on their achievements to date. A vote is taken and the loser is chucked out of the balloon. Repeat until one person remains.
The series used debators from schools and colleges.
