Talk:Passport Quiz

Additional Details

Bryan Burnett who was the was the Co-host of Scottish Passport,( scottish version of wish you were here for glasgow people) which started in 1994.

In 1998 Burnett come up with the idea for passport quiz, where 3 pairs of contestants would use there knowledge of world geography in answering questions to gain passport miles and win spot prizes, during the rounds

There were 3 rounds:

Round one: one person from each pair buzz's in to the questions but not confere the answer.

Round two: Each pair would watch a short video, and then had to answer 3 questions about the place/video there just watched, one of the q was where was place in the video.

Round 3: Bagain Holiday: Each pair get told a hoilday which could be brough that week in travel agents and there had to guess the right price out of choice of three.

round 4: look at the passport pic of the contestants, this was moved to before round one in later series , there also talk about there holidays etc Then after that there all watch a short video and once again people have to buzz in to the questions about it

Round 5, just like round one but with the other person doing the buzzing- but its double points if you get a wrong asnwer you get frozen out. 90 secs long

End game, to get the holiday, you have to get uncover the 9 squares one person tells there other partner - has to describe 9 different words related to holiday on a piece of card. But you get square one and two for free. so in fact the other person just has to get 7 answers

There was 5 series from 98 - 03 broadcast on both STV and Grampain from 26 February 1998 – 2003, with over 150 episode made.
