At heart, ''Two Tribes'' is a hardcore quiz show - it'll typically ask 70 questions in a half-hour slot, and the questions tend to be tougher than [[Eggheads]]. ''Two Tribes'' is more than a straightforward quiz - the yes/no statements give Richard Osman an excuse to chat with the players, and deploy his trademark dry wit.

Host

Richard Osman

Broadcast

Remarkable Television (an Endemol company) for BBC Two, 18 August 2014 to present

Synopsis

Seven contestants are split into groups: those who can answer "yes" to a question like "I am a risk taker", and those who can answer "no".

Each tribe has 60 seconds of general knowledge questions, a question is passed down the line if it's wrongly answered, and should none of the tribe know an answer the round ends at once. One of the losing tribe is out of the game, the rest divide again.

When down to four players, it's a straight two-against-two split, a race to five right answers determines the winning pair. Then those two play a chess clock final round, with the winner getting £1000 in book tokens or gadget vouchers.

Two tribes enter, one tribe wins.

At heart, Two Tribes is a hardcore quiz show - it'll typically ask 70 questions in a half-hour slot, and the questions tend to be tougher than Eggheads. Two Tribes is more than a straightforward quiz - the yes/no statements give Richard Osman an excuse to chat with the players, and deploy his trademark dry wit.

Trivia

Airing in the 6pm Eggheads slot.
