The Question Jury is a British game show that has aired on Channel 4 since 11 July 2016. The format is based on a team of contestants attempting to answer questions unanimously, like a jury. So far, one series of the show has been broadcast, with Series 2 due to air in early 2017.[2]
Background
The show is produced by Monkey, and was initially commissioned for 20 episodes.[1] These aired at 4 p.m., making it a direct rival for ITV's Tipping Point.[3]
Format
The show consists of seven jurors. The first two rounds entail the jury trying to answer questions unanimously, for £500. The third sees all but one of the jury trying to answer 10 questions in ninety seconds, each worth £50. The fourth and fifth rounds are the same as the first and second, except that they are played for £1,000. The sixth sees all but three of the jury answering quickfire questions for £50 each, while the seventh and eighth sees them trying to agree answers on two more questions worth £1,500. The ninth sees all but three answering quickfire questions for £100, however, an incorrect answer ends the round. The tenth round's question is worth £2,000. Each of the seven players is Foreman for one of the seven non-quickfire rounds; the Foreman for each non-quickfire round is determined before the show, while the Foreman for each of the quickfire rounds is picked by the jury.[4]
In round eleven, one person plays for all that has been raised throughout the episode. All who wish to play for it stand up, and those that don't pick amongst those that do. If all jurors stand, they all vote for their preferred fellow juror. If the vote is tied, the jurors not in the tie pick their preferred juror among those in the tie. The player that is picked faces one final question, which (s)he may discuss with his/her fellow jurors; if (s)he gets it right, (s)he leaves the money that has been banked in that episode, but if (s)he doesn't, (s)he leaves with nothing.[4] At the end of the week, the jury is released and starts again with seven fresh jurors.[3]
