''Celebrity Squares'' is a British comedy game show based on the American comedy game show ''Hollywood Squares''. It first ran from 20 July 1975 to 7 July 1979 produced by ATV and was hosted by Bob Monkhouse, then from 8 January 1993 to 3 January 1997 produced by Central with Reg Grundy Productions and was also hosted by Monkhouse. On 10 September 2014, a revival of the show produced by September Films and GroupM Entertainment debuted on ITV, and is hosted by Warwick Davis. ==Format== The show is based on noughts and crosses. Inside each box is a celebrity. The host asks a celebrity a question, and if the contestant can correctly predict whether the celebrity got that question correct or wrong, then they'll win that square and a money value. If the contestant's prediction is wrong, the opposing contestant wins the square and no money is won. However, if the round is at game point, the opponent must put their nought or cross in the square themself. If they get three in row vertically, horizontally, diagonally or five in total, then they'll win the round. In the ATV run, each square and game was worth £10. In rounds two, three & four, one celebrity was designated as a "secret square". Contestants who picked this square and got the corresponding question right won a special prize, usually either a holiday or a weekend break to a location in Europe. In the Central and Reg Grundy Productions era of the show, each square in the first two rounds was worth £10 and winning a round was worth an extra £50. Also in this version, round two was the "secret square" round. If the secret square was not revealed in that round, the prize is carried over to the next round, and the secret square is repositioned to a different celebrity. In the current version, each square in the first two rounds was worth £50 and winning a round was worth an extra £500. Also in this version, rounds two and four are "secret square" rounds; here, it was renamed the "Mystery Square" round. In the second part of the show in the Central and Reg Grundy Productions era, the prize value doubled in round three to £20 a square and £100 for a winning round. If there was enough time for a fourth round, the money was doubled again to £40 a square and £200 for a winning round. While in the current era, the prizes were £100 a square and £1000 for the win in round three and £1000 a square and £2000 for winning round four and beyond. When exactly one minute of gameplay was left, a buzzer would sound, and the rest of the round currently in progress would be turned into a speed round, by getting through the questions at a much quicker pace. At the end of the penultimate round, the contestant with the most money went into the final round. In the final round, the contestant was given one question and had to give nine correct answers within 30 seconds. If the contestant did so, they win a star prize. In the ATV version, the winning contestnat had a choice of playing for an additional £100, or risking their money and Secret Square prizes for a chance to augment their cash winnings to £1000. Failure to win the extra £100 earned £5 for each correct answer; going for the £1000 and losing earned nothing extra. In the Central version, winning the final round earned a pick of one of five cars on display. On some occasions, if the contestant failed, their cash winnings were doubled as a consolation. From the second series in 1994, the choice of their car was selected prior to the final round and they got a pick of three different categories for their question. The five cars on offer for the star prize changed from series to series, but typically consisted of either a 4x4 Sports, Cabriolet, Coupe, Mini and Saloon. In the Warwick Davis version, a cash prize of £20,000 is played for in the final with £1,000 per square. In the second series, it was increased to £25,000 in the jackpot round. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Celebrity Squares」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
