Passport Quiz [26/02/98]
Passports at the ready!
This travel themed quiz show was broadcast on Scottish Television (STV) between 1998 and 2003. It involves three pairs of contestants vying to win a luxury holiday. In this fast-moving programme, competitors run around the airport set for each round to win ‘passport miles’. Rounds include a mixture of general knowledge, travel themed questions as well as video clip rounds. The team with the most miles face a final round to win the prize. The high-spirited host is Bryan Burnett who easily gains rapport with the contestants, teasing them about their inevitably embarrassing passport photos.
TV Game and Quiz Shows
Fingers on buzzers, your starter for ten…
Often a staple of the television schedules, quiz and game shows have always been popular with viewers. Formats and themes of quiz and game shows have changed over time; from the educational and cerebral to tests of physical and mental strength.
Far from trivial, game shows can give us an insight into what was regarded as general knowledge at the time. These are episodes filled with once-familiar faces offering prizes reflecting the then latest sought-after consumer goods. Enjoy this selection of some familiar and lesser known TV game and quiz shows over the years.
Get ready to play along and pit your wits against players of the past!
