The radio replacement for [[Sporting Chance]] was a general knowledge quiz, in which the panel toured seaside resorts, and hoped to beat the local brainboxes. After 1967, the seaside theme was dropped and the series toured universities instead. ''Forces Chance'' was the same format, but travelled internationally to pit the resident panel against members of the armed forces.
