The Burning Question (TV series)

The Burning Question is a British television quiz show that aired on ITV from 1986 to 1992. It was hosted by Barry Blake. The show featured two teams of two contestants who competed against each other by answering general knowledge questions.

The format involved multiple rounds of questions covering a wide range of topics. A key element of the game involved "burning questions," higher-value questions that required more detailed or complex answers. Teams were awarded points for correct answers, and the team with the most points at the end of the show won. The winning team then had the opportunity to play a bonus round for additional prizes.

The show was known for its brisk pace and challenging questions. It gained a reputation for appealing to intelligent viewers and fostering a sense of intellectual competition. While not a ratings juggernaut, The Burning Question maintained a loyal following throughout its run.
