Ken Bruce's long-running PopMaster quiz is being turned into a Channel 4 television programme after his departure from the BBC. Hosted by the veteran presenter on Radio 2 for more than two decades, the segment is being adapted into a six-part series for More4.
The show will see two contestants asked 10 questions based on popular music from the 1950s to the present day. The questions will cover a variety of genres and range from naming artists based on song titles or clips to identifying the year songs were hits. Each episode winner will advance to the grand final where one will be crowned overall champion.
Bruce said: "After all these years we are finally bringing PopMaster to the telly where we'll be challenging music lovers from around the country to not only recall a range of facts and stats about chart toppers and beyond over the decades, but to do so under the glare of studio lights and with the added pressure of television cameras. I can't wait to get started - and find out whether I might have a face for TV after all."
