Telly Addicts That's Showbusiness |
As Seen on TV is a BBC television panel game show based around TV trivia. It is produced by Shine TV by arrangement with Unique Broadcasting; the latter is the company owned by Noel Edmonds, who presented the similarly themed show Telly Addicts.
It is presented by Steve Jones, with team captains Fern Britton and Jason Manford.
The first episode was broadcast on Friday 17 July 2009. It was moved to a Thursday evening slot from its second episode.
The teams are shown six TV programmes which are categories related to TV based questions. Each player gets to pick one category each.
The shows are:
Each team is shown a clip of TV shows which all started in the same year. They are asked 2 questions about certain parts of the clip and a further point for guessing the correct year.
Each team tries to guess a person who has been on the TV from a particular TV show, hence they're called the "Thingy Off The Telly". They can ask as many Yes/No questions as they want until Steve passes it over to the other team.
Round 4 was either a game called "TV Gold", in which the team is shown a clip from a TV show and have to answer 3 related questions about the show or another game called "TV Lists" where the studio audience are asked which of 9 people or things from a certain category they like the best. The team then has to work out the audience top 3, then the audience top 1.
The teams are shown pictures of TV shows and have to buzz in when they can identify them. They get 2 points for a correct answer, but 1 is deducted for an incorrect answer. Whoever is in the lead at the end of the round wins the show.
