QI S19
If Sandi Toksvig were to ask you the following question, what would you say? "How do you measure the height of a tree?" And how would you explain your answer? The show sets its contestants the challenge of inventing surprising and ingenious answers to questions that just sound too wild to be true!

The Amazing Race S32
Contestants on The Amazing Race want to win the ultimate prize: $1 million. In some ways, it has also made a difference to how people view the show and television itself. Some viewers have said they believe that TV props are becoming “fake” since many TV shows now use obvious set-ups to create drama. On the other hand, the show has changed the way people look at travel since it is not only about exhilarating adventure and competition, but also a tale of discovery.

Brother vs Brother S2
For brothers Jonathan and Drew Scott, the Property Brothers franchise is a family affair. But things get heated when they're paired against each other in a series of challenges designed to deliver maximum sibling rivalry. It's not enough to compete on who can sell their home the quickest or for the most profit. They also have to contend with finding an ideal flip for fellow property expert, real estate mogul, international investor and mentor, Barbara Corcoran.
While still trying to finish current projects, each brother seeks the advice of his own dream team – from specialists on design and renovation for interior and exterior preparations to vendors and suppliers. Plus, they'll be pitching their ideas on how to polish off their properties by appealing to homeowners with an attention-grabbing proposal.
