Britain's Brightest Family is a British quiz show broadcast by ITV and presented by Anne Hegerty. It has been airing since 10 January 2018.
Format
The family - a young captain, and two older relatives - answer questions on the buzzers. Unlike most other shows, this quiz isn't straightforward trivia, but uses pictures and graphics throughout.
The show opens and closes with a team round. One player buzzes in, and nominates another member of their team to answer the question. To show this, the nominated player's chair goes a little way up.
Buoyed by a decent reception, a second series was commissioned. There were some changes in the format and set design. Quick-fire questions on the buzzers still came first and last. There is now only one head-to-head round, and it's questions about a single random topic.
A multiple choice round involved all six players tapping answers to the same questions. There was a memory round. The final quick-fire round was timed, rather than for five questions, and still played for double points.
