Channel 4 Renews "Fifteen To One" For Seventh and Eighth Series

Channel 4's revival of the notoriously tough quiz show of endurance, strategy and general knowledge has been recommissioned by the network's Entertainment Team for two additional series. Channel 4 has ordered a total of 100 hourlong episodes of Fifteen To One from Remedy Productions, who is part of the Argonon super-indie production group. Both upcoming series will be produced from Remedy's Glasgow offices by executive producer Jim Regan and series producer Stuart Harrison. The episodes will be filmed at BBC Pacific Quay Studios and Sandi Toksvig, who will also be fronting the upcoming series of BBC's QI, will return to host both series. The show is currently in its 35th episode of the sixth series in search for a second contestant to become the £40,000 series Grand Champion this year alongside the previous series winner, Gareth Kingston. Both series will more than likely air in 2017.
