No matter where you live, there's a very good chance that you've seen the name of our special guest, Chris Goss, in the credits of a TV show. Chris has provided the computer systems that control the game play for a vast number of game shows including 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' (in 60 territories), 'Deal or No Deal', 'The Weakest Link', '5 Gold Rings' and 'Million Pound Drop'. We also touch on various types of interactivity and VR systems. Meanwhile, David and Justin look at homegrown flops that became international hits, and the hidden rules of how long programmes need to be. We go back the the 1970's for 'Fake or Format?', and there's all the format news that's fit to print.
