Challenge Takes 12 Yard Game Show

LONDON, September 11: 12 Yard Productions has licensed its
flagship quiz show Eggheads, produced
for BBC Two, to Challenge in the U.K.

The Flextech-owned network has already begun airing episodes
from the first two seasons acquired—a total of 60 episodes. BBC Two has
commissioned a further 25 episodes for a 6 p.m. daily strip.

The Challenge deal follows the sale of 150 episodes to UKTV
in Australia and New Zealand earlier this year.

The show features quiz champions going up against an amateur
quiz team each episode.
