Fifteen To One To Return To Channel 4

Channel 4 has confirmed Fifteen To One is to return for three more series.

The Remedy Productions, part of the Argonon group, commission includes a total of 100 x 60' episodes for daytime. The third series will transmit on Channel 4 this summer.

Broadcaster and comedian Sandi Toksvig will return to host the quiz show, where 15 contestants start the game, but only one can win.

Fifteen To One is a battle of supreme knowledge, with the fifteen highest scoring winners returning for the series final, where they will compete for the title of Grand Champion – and £40,000.

Ed de Burgh, Commissioning Editor for Entertainment at Channel 4, said: "Sandi is undoubtedly one of Britain's toughest quiz mistresses and we are delighted to welcome both her and the show back to the channel for three more series. We look forward to seeing Britain's smartest quiz minds take on the Fifteen To One challenge."

Tom Blakeson, Remedy Productions' Chief Creative Officer, added: "Fifteen to One is one of the UK's most-loved quiz shows so we're delighted that Channel 4 has commissioned three further series for the channel. We are absolutely thrilled to be able to confirm that the brilliant Sandi Toksvig will be back for another 100 episodes; her razor sharp wit makes her the perfect host for Britain's brainiest quiz."

Series 3 and 4 will be filmed in Glasgow, while series 5 will be filmed in Manchester.
