Jason Manford's New Quiz Show: The Answer Run - How To Play Along

Get ready for a new quiz show, "The Answer Run," hosted by the ever-entertaining Jason Manford, airing on BBC One. This show promises a fun-filled, fast-paced game of general knowledge that'll have viewers on the edge of their seats.

The premise is simple, yet addictive. Three pairs of contestants compete, each facing a series of questions with a twist: they're given the answers, and must choose which answer fits the question.

So, how does it work? Each round features a pair of answers, covering diverse topics ranging from soap operas like "EastEnders" or "Coronation Street" to pop culture icons like Dolly Parton and Barbie. The contestants are then presented with a question that matches one of the answers. Their task is to quickly decide which answer fits, and swipe their choice.

For example, if the answers are "Birds" or "Bees", the question might be: "What is the famous emblem of the city of Manchester?" The answer, of course, is "Bees," and the contestants must choose accordingly.

The pressure mounts as each pair races against the clock, hoping to secure their place in the final round, "The Final Run". The final pair standing has the chance to win a cash prize, accumulating from the points earned throughout the show.

Manford, known for his witty and engaging personality, explains the appeal of the show, saying, "It's such a simple format, perfect for viewers to play along at home. With two answers in each category and the question asked, players can have a go at guessing which answer is right."

This engaging new format promises to be a hit for viewers seeking a lighthearted, interactive quiz show experience.

"The Answer Run" premieres on BBC One and iPlayer on Monday 19th August at 4:30pm. Join in the fun, and see if you can outsmart the contestants!
