Beat the Teacher

Some (late) back to school fun, here’s an episode of Beat the Teacher that was uploaded yesterday (Neil Miles’ channel very much worth a subscribe if you like your TV archivery).

I used to really like this as a six year-old. It gives away a surprising amount of cash for an afternoon kids TV show, albeit as schools equipment vouchers (one of the teachers on the leaderboard has earned over two grand, incredibly). Fun questions. I had forgotten how powerful the Joker could be – effectively levelling the game for the child (I wonder how many times the teachers used theirs?).

We may never know the thinking behind getting the lead singer of Manfred Mann to front a TV schools quiz.
