XYZ was a daytime quiz programme that aired for 1 series on BBC1 in 1993; the programme was hosted by George Marshall.

On each edition 3 contestants played against each other for the chance to play for a major prize.

Gameplay

The game is played on a board of 24 squares called the "Alphabank", of which the 23 squares were the first 23 letters of the alphabet and the 24th square was the 'XYZ' square. The idea of the game was to try to have the longest chain of letters in a row without any breaks in the chain.
