In the return of the live interactive quiz, Anne Robinson and Phillip Schofield give viewers the chance to discover just how much they really know about their country. The 75 questions are on subjects ranging from British customs to entertainment, and cover the entire UK.
In the studio, groups of chefs, tour guides, truckers, B&B landladies, record breakers and accountants, as well as celebrity guests, take part to see who comes out on top, while viewers at home can test themselves via digital TV, online, using their mobiles or simply with pen and paper. The programme concludes after the news at 10pm.
