Beat the Nation
Beat The Nation was a quiz show on the United Kingdom commercial channel Channel 4 that ran for just one series and 120 episodes from 5 January to 2 July 2004. It was hosted by former Goodies Tim Brooke-Taylor and Graeme Garden.
It was put in place to fill the time slot left vacated by the demise of Fifteen to One the previous December.
It consisted of various rounds based around a contestant's ability to get an answer to a question right that a certain percent of the population as a whole could not. For example, if the contestant answered a question correctly that 74% of the population did not get right, he or she would score 74 points.
The programme did not use a studio audience, but added sound effects in post-production, a technique also used on Fifteen to One.
