Chosen Idea | Development ~ SP

The idea I have chosen to go with is 'Between the Pages'.


This is the literature quiz show, that tests contestants on their knowledge on books, and their literature skills. The rounds will consist of puzzles, games and questions that will allow the contestants to get a point with every answer they get right.

There will be four different rounds, with one being the winning round to see who is the winner.
These rounds are:

  • Fill in the gaps of the title/famous quote
    • The contestants will be given a title/famous quote with either some of the letters missing, or it will be presented as an anagram, and the contestants have to fill in the gaps or figure out what the book title/famous quote is.
      • The authors name may potentially be mentioned in the first place or as a clue to help the contestants if they find it too difficult.
  • Name any 3/5 books that have been turned into movies/adaptations
    • The contestants will have time to think and say 3 to 5 different books that have been made into movies and/or movie adaptations.
  • Name the book from the movie snapshot
    • The contestants will be shown a variety of different snapshots from different movies and they have to pick a picture and say the book it is based on.
      • All the snapshots given may not all be movies based off of books.
  • Name the famous couple in these books
    • The contestants will be given a list of books and they must pick a book and say the famous couple/pairing that is features within that book.
  • Match the character to their true pairing
    • On a board, there will be different literature pairings on either side of the board. The pairs will be shuffled around so they aren't completely opposite each other. The contestants have to connect the pairs with string and they have to say what book that chosen pairing is from. 
  • Guess the first line
    • This will be a multiple choice question. The contestants will hear/see a first line from a book, and from the multiple choice answers given, they choose the book they think it is from. This will probably be the winning round as the difficulty level is quite high.

For the contributors there will either be one presenter or two that all work alongside each other. This will create a chatty tone as the two presenters would have good conversation with one another and it will create a positive vibe in the show.
There will also be three contestants that compete against one another for three rounds, and after the third round one of them will go home and only the remaining two will compete in the winning round.



I want the style of the show to be chatty, but also fun and enjoyable. It's going to be easy to watch while also being educational and thought provoking. The presenters that are chosen will lead the show and make it fun to watch both in the studio and at home on the TV.
The show will be aimed at the older generation, while also having elements that would attract any age or families. The show will also be featured on the BBC 4 channel.

From some of the research I have conducted, I know that there isn't any literature based quiz shows or game shows on the TV currently, and there haven't been many, if any, in the past. I think this will give me an advantage and if my idea gets chosen, it would mean that the idea was original and the theme isn't similar to any other shows currently on the TV which would give an automatic interest to the show.
