Synopsis
Another premium-rate puzzle phone-in. How many more?
Anyway, in its two years on air, this channel has managed to launch careers in participation quiz TV out of such luminaries like Debbie King and Cat Porter. Although by the time Quiznation announced it was taking a short break (or as they later admitted, closing down), most of these careers will have ended.
The final programme included a 'best bits' compilation, a la Quizmania. Hmmm, do you think they were trying to win the sympathy vote here?
