School's Out is a BBC television series hosted by Danny Wallace. Based on the premise of school subjects, celebrity contestants are asked questions that they would have been asked at school.
Rounds
[edit]- The General Knowledge Round – Each contestant is randomly asked four questions on any subject.
- The Timetable round – A school timetable is shown, five days with six subjects per day. Contestants pick a day and then one subject in the morning and one in the afternoon. They are then asked a question based on that subject. Five points are awarded for a single subject question and ten points for a double.
- The French Oral Round – French teacher Virginie Hopstein asks each contestant individually to answer questions she asks in French. Points out of twenty are awarded afterwards.
- The Project Round – A subject is given to the students and three questions are asked. Points are awarded for each question.
- The Music Round – Each contestant is given a recorder and has to play a part of a song when asked (from series 2 onwards)
- The Quick Fire Round – The overall winner is given a timetable similar to the one in round two. They are given a minute to get from Monday to Friday answering questions correctly to progress. They must answer one double subject along the way.
