History

It was developed from a round created by Jupp in the first series of the gameshow It's Your Round. In that case the game was called ''What Does My Dad Know?'', in which panellists had to guess what answers Miles Jupp's dad gave to various trivia questions.

Rounds

* It's What They Know - The nominees are asked about their respective panellists; the panellists need to second-guess what their nominees answered. * It's Now What You Know - The panellists are asked about their respective nominees to find out how well they know them. * Which Nominee? - The panellists are given an answer and need to identify which of the nominees gave it. * The Big One/One Massive Question - The panellists need to predict the answer given by their nominee to a suitably 'big' but mundane question (e.g., how do they take their tea, what is their favourite item of cutlery).
