Memory Bank (UK Game Show)
''Memory Bank'' is a daytime gameshow which was shown on Five in the UK. It featured several rounds of memory themed games. In the final round, the contestant was shown twenty words and each word remembered was worth a cash prize. The show was presented by Jonathan Gould and Rachel Pierman. Three contestants were featured in each episode. The show shared a similar format to Five's popular daytime quiz '' BrainTeaser'', sometimes described as its sister show. Both featured viewer puzzles where viewers at home could call in to win cash prizes. Initially the series had a flatter structure than ''BrainTeaser'', in that all three contestants participated in all of the rounds until the final, where only the one with the highest score would proceed; however, in June 2004 the series was revamped to follow a pattern later adopted by ''BrainTeaser'' whereby one contestant was eliminated at a time until eventually only one contestant remained. The show, which began in April 2004, was la ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The show was broadcast live, with phone-in viewer puzzles being announced and played during the show in addition to the studio game.

2000s British Game Shows
S, or s, is the nineteenth letter in the Latin alphabet, used in the modern English alphabet, the alphabets of other western European languages and others worldwide. Its name in English is ''ess'' (pronounced ), plural ''esses''. History Origin Northwest Semitic šîn represented a voiceless postalveolar fricative (as in 'ip'). It originated most likely as a pictogram of a tooth () and represented the phoneme via the acrophonic principle. Ancient Greek did not have a phoneme, so the derived Greek letter sigma () came to represent the voiceless alveolar sibilant . While the letter shape Σ continues Phoenician ''šîn'', its name ''sigma'' is taken from the letter ''samekh'', while the shape and position of ''samekh'' but name of ''šîn'' is continued in the '' xi''. Within Greek, the name of ''sigma'' was influenced by its association with the Greek word (earlier ) "to hiss". The original name of the letter "sigma" may have been ''san'', but due to the complica ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
