80's Quiz show

[Dave Ewart]

What was the name of this quiz show, all i can remember is:

1000 people started in a big open air plot. there were three huge circles painted on the ground. a question was asked and people ran to stand in one of the cirlces. if you got the question wrong you were out.

This went on slowly wittling down the contestants. then as the weeks went on, the challenges became more fun. i remember one where they were at alton towers and they had to hold a bucket of water on the pirate ship ride. the one who lost the most water was out. Can anyone help?

Think it might have been Ultra Quiz.

yes it was Ultra quiz, it was a one off series where 1000 where wittled down to the eventual winner who won �10K

This might be off the beaten track here a little, but if you enjoyed this show I'd advise checking out Takeshi's Castle on Challenge. It's a Japanese show which I first saw years ago when visiting Prague. I then discovered it on Challenge when I got Sky, but this has Craig Charles voicing over it. Similar premise, but with a Japanese tilt to it. Quality entertainment that always makes me laugh!! It's ridiculous!! S
