Beat the Nation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Beat The Nation was a quiz show on the UK commercial channel Channel 4 that ran for just one series in early 2004. It was hosted by former Goodies Tim Brooke-Taylor and Graeme Garden.

It was put in place to fill the time slot left vacated by the demise of 15-to-1 the previous December.

It consisted of various rounds based around a contestant's ability to get an answer to a question right that a certain percent of the population as a whole could not. For example, if the contestant answered a question correctly that 74% of the population did not get right, he or she would score 74 points.

As of 2006, there is no sign of a second series.
