Each episode always begins with host Lee Mack asking 100 competitors a question that is considered to be the most simple one that they'll get to face. If they get it wrong, they are no longer qualified to continue playing, and this continues for 15 questions, which progressively get more difficult.

Their complication level is judged by putting the same questions to the public and seeing what percentage get it right. The final question is answered correctly by only 1%. The first episode of the ITV gameshow's four-part return got off to an interesting start when 20 contestants were almost immediately wiped out.



The opening gambit was: 'In order to move the puppet's left arm, does the puppeteer need to move their own left hand or right hand?' The question wiped out 20 contestants (Picture: ITV / The 1% Club) As it was called the '90% question' 90 people were predicted to get it right, but only 80 managed to crack it. The correct answer was right. Even Lee, 56, was shocked at the amount of early exits.

'Holy flips, we've lost 20 people!' he exclaimed. 'I don't think we've ever had such a loud, "Oh my God" on the show before.' A micro pig.
