It is presented by Steve Jones, with team captains Fern Britton and Jason Manford.
The first episode was broadcast on Friday 17 July 2009. It was moved to a Thursday evening slot from its second episode.
Round 1: What's On TV?
The teams are shown six TV programmes which are categories related to TV based questions. Each player gets to pick one category each.
The shows are:
Round 2: TV Years
Each team is shown a clip of TV shows which all started in the same year. They are asked 2 questions about certain parts of the clip and a further point for guessing the correct year.
Round 3: Thingy Off The Telly
Each team tries to guess a person who has been on the TV from a particular TV show, hence they're called the "Thingy Off The Telly". They can ask as many Yes/No questions as they want until Steve passes it over to the other team.
Round 4: TV Gold/TV Lists
Round 4 was either a game called "TV Gold", in which the team is shown a clip from a TV show and have to answer 3 related questions about the show or another game called "TV Lists" where the studio audience are asked which of 9 people or things from a certain category they like the best. The team then has to work out the audience top 3, then the audience top 1.
Round 5: Name That Show
The teams are shown pictures of TV shows and have to buzz in when they can identify them. They get 2 points for a correct answer, but 1 is deducted for an incorrect answer. Whoever is in the lead at the end of the round wins the show.
