IF YOU THINK YOU'RE SMART ENOUGH offers 91热爆 ONE viewers the chance to
take on the studio contestants from the comfort of home and to challenge
them for a prize of 拢30,000 or more.

For the first time, viewers are able to compete against
the four studio teams via interactive TV, the internet at ,

They will answer exactly the same questions at exactly
the same time.

the man asking the questions."

COME AND HAVE A GO... IF YOU THINK YOU'RE SMART ENOUGH
is split into two parts.
听
Over the course of the first 50 minutes, the studio
teams are whittled down from four to one whilst interactive players
compete for the top spot across the nations and regions.
听
The 91热爆 will then whisk a satellite camera to their
location, enabling a live head-to-head battle in the second show.
At the beginning of the second half, Nicky Campbell announces which
home team has come top and introduces live pictures from the outside
broadcast as they prepare to take on their studio counterparts.
听
Whoever has the highest score over the course of 20
questions will net the cash and with it an invite to the studio for
the following week to see if they can continue their winning streak.
听
Even if you don't qualify for the final, all is not
lost as the three remaining studio places will be given to a selection
of teams who score 26 or more points.

Jane Lush, Controller, Entertainment Commissioning,
says: "We're always looking to push new interactive formats and
now whether you're at home, in the pub or at a friend's house, you can
take on the teams in the studio.

"Any number of you can play, whether you're on
your own or in a team, and if you come out on top you get to go head-to-head
for the money; it's as simple as that."

COME AND HAVE A GO... IF YOU THINK YOU'RE SMART ENOUGH

play the same game at the same time for the same big cash prize."
