MIPCOM Spotlight: BBC Studios

In BBC Studios’ game show The Answer Run, the answers are already known, and the players must match questions to the correct responses to earn money—and victory depends on a split-second swipe.

“The great thing about The Answer Run is its scalability,” says Matt Forde, managing director of global entertainment. “It can be produced for multiple time slots and can sit comfortably in early evening access prime time or stripped daily across daytime, but it’s not limited to those, either.”

Silence is Golden sees a team of comedians do whatever it takes to get the studio audience to make noise, and even the slightest sound impacts the prize pot.

Weakest Link “is one of our biggest hits, and we consistently see heritage formats like this resurfacing,” Forde notes.

He adds, “As the biggest distributor of game shows and quiz titles, this year, we’re intentionally highlighting this via a bespoke panel, ‘The Power of Game and Quiz.’”
