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.

So this is how it begins. Bold text is the correct answer, italic text is a given wrong answer, marked text is a given correct answer. Let's go:
