Simply the Best (TV series)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Simply the Best was a game show broadcast on the UK terrestrial network ITV in 2004.

Filmed in Jersey as a co-production of Channel Television and Carlton Television, it was hosted by Phil Tufnell and Kirsty Gallacher, and featured the cheerleaders from the American football team the Scottish Claymores.

Each week two teams from cities across the UK competed in a series of madcap games to go forward to a final, where the eventual prize was £50,000 for local community projects.

The series was directly based on a French series entitled Intervilles (Intercity), from which It's a Knockout had previously been adapted.

The 2004 winners were Leeds, while Sheffield were the runners-up.
