Synopsis
Contestants try to give ten consecutive correct True or False answers to a series of statements. A contestant is eliminated if they give three wrong answers in a row, or a total of ten wrong answers.
If the game ends early, they win £1 per answer for their best run of correct responses. If they reach their target of ten, they win a rolling jackpot that increases by £25 per failure.
Inventor
Based on a Welsh format called Taro Deg by Roy Ward Dickson.
Trivia
A children's version was also made in the Grampian region.
The Anglia version was a touring outside broadcast series recorded at town venues (the last episode - one of the few surviving archives examples of Try for Ten by any means - was recorded in Bury St Edmonds).
