UNBEATABLE: DAYTIME QUIZ AXED BY BBC AFTER TWO SERIES

 EXCLUSIVE

The BBC has axed daytime quiz Unbeatable, hosted by Jason Manford, after two series on BBC One, TV Zone understands.

Unbeatable sees players pit their answers against one another in battles that test their knowledge - and ultimately the courage of their convictions.

A BBC spokesperson told TV Zone: "Unbeatable had two great series but we need to make room for new opportunities. We'd like to thank Jason and the team for all their hard work."

Each episode sees four opponents play solo and battle rounds in which they face a question and pick from a board of six rank-able answers.

They can play it safe and earn £100 each time their chosen answer beats another on the board. Or, if they think they’ve picked the best answer, they can take a risk and hit their Unbeatable button. They’ll bank £1,000 if they’re right - but nothing if they are wrong.

After three rounds, just one contestant remains. They’ll face the final, where they could double their bank if they back their own knowledge and prove themselves Unbeatable.

Unbeatable is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
