Sign2Win
Synopsis
The UK's second British Sign Language quiz, following See Hear on Saturday Quiz. The obvious difference is that the previous show was essentially a regular quiz which just happened to be conducted in BSL, whereas Sign2Win is to a large extent actually about British Sign Language and uses its physical nature as a key part of the games.
Those games include a version of the Pyramid Game/Password challenge of conveying a word or phrase without actually using or spelling it, providing signs which incorporate a particular hand shape, and translating finger-spelt words to their recognised signs.
Key moments
Any time anyone accidentally says anything; most of the show uses only incidental music. Just don't bother recording sound and everybody's happy.
The contestant who described Vincent van Gogh by throwing their hearing aid at the floor.
Trivia
Commissioned for BSL Zone, a halfhearted joint seeing-out of Film4 and Together TV's PSB requirements, and aired the last Monday of each month at 8am on Film4 and 7pm and 10pm on Together TV. EPGs set for Film4 also recorded the rest of BSL Zone's ware, and regularly picked up the following two and a half hours of teleshopping the channel's schedulers hadn't bothered to extricate from the programmes.
