Synopsis
Yawn. When Quiz TV started, we thought it would just be a one-off oddity, an interesting footnote in the history of British quizzing culture.

So anyway, here's another one.
The company behind the GBBQ (which later lost the 'British' from it's title), Play To Win TV tried to distance itself from the TV phone-in scandal by introducing a 'Fair Play' code in April 2007. Yet within a few weeks, they gave up and Play To Win TV went into liquidation.
