1 and 6 Zeros: The details
Episode 1 (13-03-22)
The team playing today consists of Laura, Steve and Stella. They are from Sunderland and Durham respectively. After a banter sesh, the very very straightforward rules are explained. There's 7 questions, each with an amount of answers corresponding as to how many zeros are left in play, meaning the team starts off with 7 answers to pick from.
There's a single lifeline in play, you can swap the question, at the cost of the value of the coin dropping from a full pound to eventually just a penny (Which would lower the top prize to £10,000).
On questions 4 and 6, the team is thinned out by forcing one player to leave to the lobby. They frequently get asked to give their opinion in 'behind the scenes' scenes, however.
