Jason Manford is set to host a brand new gameshow which will air on BBC One and iPlayer later this year. It marks the Salford comedian's return to the channel after presenting quiz show Unbeatable, which ended with its second series last summer.
The Answer Run will see three pairs of contestants work against the clock as they swipe their way through a variety of questions. The format is based on 50/50 decisions where each question can only fit into one of the two answers provided.
Answer categories range from ‘Beyonce or Barbie’ to ‘Neptune or Mars’ through to ‘Football or Basketball’ and everything in between. Teams will be eliminated throughout the show, until one pair remains who will have the chance to face The Answer Run one final time to attempt to take home the money they’ve banked during the episode.

Filming for the series, described as 'fun for all the family,' is set to take place in Glasgow this month.
Previously Jason, who recently hosted the National Lottery's Big Night of Musicals, fronted Unbeatable which saw players face a question and pick from a board of six rankable answers in an attempt to the find one that was 'unbeatable.' It ran for two seasons, starting in May 2021.
Now Jason has said he is 'chuffed' to return to BBC daytime, adding: "I really feel like [The Answer Run] is going to be one of those addictive TV quiz shows where you’re sat at home shouting at the telly because you reckon you could’ve done better! It’s fast paced, full of jeopardy and requires contestants to be able to make split-second decisions. But I promise we’ll have a laugh too.”
