Synopsis
Noughts-and-crosses with questions chosen from 98 different categories. Every right answer earned you £10 (worth about £150 in today's money). We think the money may have gone up to £20 per answer later in the run.
Some great categories hereThere was also Junior Criss Cross Quiz, which ran alongside the main show for the whole run.
Key moments
One contestant walked away with £2,360. Not surprisingly, they put a limit on the number of times you could win shortly after.
Inventor
Based on Jack Berry and Dan Enright's US format Tic Tac Dough.
Trivia
The final two contestants were Anthony Douglas from London and Rennie McGowan from Liverpool. On the very last programme, because the game was unfinished and there was obviously no way of continuing the game, both contestants were awarded £10 for each score they'd made on the board. And that was that.
Merchandise
A board game was produced.
Surely the only quiz game ever to include "currency" as a category.Pictures
