I was bitterly disappointed when 15-1 came to an end, and for some reason Channel 4 replaced it with this. Obviously the time slot of 2:45PM is still allocated to a quiz, so why not keep The G Man (William G. Stewart) in that half hour.
Anyway, onto Beat the Nation. In comparison this is a bit lightweight. You can read the other comment to get the gist of the shows details. It seems to be designed for a wider (dare I say it, more common) audience. The questions are easier and there are fewer of them, but you do get a few laughs here and there. The presenters, former Goodies, keep the humour present at most times, and you are surprised at how little the general populace knows.
Worth watching but 15-1 still rules.
