Today's the Day was a British television daytime quiz programme that was broadcast on BBC2 from 12 July 1993 until 12 March 1999. The programme was originally hosted by Andrew Rawnsley until he was replaced by Martyn Lewis.
Teams of two contestants each competed to answer questions about events that had taken place in past years on the episode's broadcast date.
Several rounds were played during each episode, with the order varying slightly from one series to the next:
Teams could remain on the show for a maximum of five days before retiring undefeated. At the end of each series, the teams with the highest final scores were invited back to compete in a knockout tournament, with a pair of round-the-world aeroplane tickets awarded to the winning team. All contestants who appeared on the programme received a newspaper printed on the day they were born.
