Who Knows Ireland Best? has been likened to the British quiz show Family Fortunes. Two teams of contestants would be asked to guess the results of various surveys. Prior to the show 1,000 Irish people were asked 100 questions regarding Irish life (e.g. "What percentage of people admitted to speaking on a mobile phone whilst driving?" or "What percentage of women said they would not date someone who was unemployed?").
According to research commissioned for Who Knows Ireland Best?, shown in the second episode (in which three models took on three taxi drivers), 41% of Irish people have admitted to secretly checking their partner's emails or text messages.
The series was pre-recorded in front of a live studio audience at the RTÉ Television Centre over three days from 13 September to 15 September 2011.
