Synopsis

Yet another channel offering cash prizes in an attempt to entice us to call their premium-rate number. This particular example is a bit more structured than the freeform style of other quiz channels, as a particular theme runs through each hour (for example, Big Event asks you to name the year that certain events occurred; Big Money is based on guessing the auction price of antiques and collectables; Big Bluff is basically a one-person version of Call My Bluff, etc). Believed to involve Timmy Mallett.

On 19 May 2006, officers from the Fraud Squad raided the offices of the channel after a Radio 4 investigation found that receptionists were told to ignore all incoming calls for long periods of time while 150-200 calls per minute were clocked up at 75p a time.
