ITV rapped over obscure quiz answers

ITV’S phone-in quiz channel has been found guilty of breaching the broadcasting code by making its answers too obscure.

ITV Play ran a competition on its Quizmania programme asking viewers to call in and identify “things you find in a woman’s handbag”.

The quiz ended with only seven of the 13 available prizes won.

When the remaining answers were revealed, they turned out to include “Rawl plugs” and “balaclava”.

ITV insisted the competition in questions was a “one-off error of editorial judgment”.
