The People Versus: Transmanitain Competes

The People Versus: Transmanitain Competes was a Transmanian game show originally produced by Celador Productions adapted from the British version of the program called The People Versus, it was premiered on ATN. The central format was that the questions were sent in by the viewers.

Format
Studio contestants were asked general knowledge questions set by the public. The levels were as follows:


 * Level one: one question worth Ð2,500, and four passes
 * Level two: two questions worth Ð5,000, and three passes
 * Level three: three questions worth Ð7,500, and two passes
 * Level four: four questions worth Ð10,000, and one passes
 * Level five: five questions worth Ð15,000, and no pass

The contestant had a four-minute time limit to finish the rounds. Running out of time meant they lost.

If the contestant was stuck on a question, he or she could pass, but if they cannot pass any more, they must use a 'Flip'. A contestant had three flips at their disposal. These substituted the question for an alternative one on their specialist subject.

Finishing Round 5 meant that the contestant would bank the Ð15,000 and have the chance to restart from Round 1 again with their Flips restored. As in the first series there is an unlimited amount of money to be won.

If a contestant answered a question incorrectly or could not be completed answer within the time limit, then they were knocked out of the game. The person who set the question won Ð100. (Later in the series this changed to Ð50 for a Round 1 knockout, with no money being awarded for an elimination in a later round.) The Bong Game was then played.

The studio contestant had the choice of 3 Bong games. One of these three games did not have a bong in it all and went all the way to the money he had in play. A robotic voice read out increasing amounts of money. The aim was to stop the voice before the bong sounded. The contestant had to press a button to stop the voice and win whatever was shown on the screen.

If the contestant managed beat the bong, the rest of the money in play went to the person who caught the studio contestant out. If the studio player failed to beat the bong, then they would win nothing and the member of the public won all of the money in play. The contestant then found out where the bong would have come in.
