Cleverdicks

Cleverdicks is a game show airing on Sky Atlantic, hosted by Ann Widdecombe. Four contestants compete each evening for the right to call themselves "cleverdicks" and play for a cash jackpot. As explained by host Widdecombe at the top of the first episode, a cleverdick is a person who is "irritatingly and ostentatiously knowledgeable or intelligent." The question material is primarily academic in nature. The show deliberately featured Britain's top quiz contestants. The very first show had David Stainer, one of the top quizzers in the world and champion of champions on Only Connect. He had a big score in the first round but lost to Rob Hannah. In later shows Rob Hannah reached the final several times and beat several other top quiz players including Alan Gibbs, Nic Mortimer and Brian Pendreigh.
