Topics covered in this study include the relationship between quiz shows and genre; the early broadcast history of the quiz show, questions of institutional regulation; quiz show form; `ordinary' people as performers, and the relationship between the quiz show and its audience. The book primarily focuses on the British context, from the origins of the broadcast quiz show to the present day, but it also examines the relations with, and influence of, the American context.
