''Concentration'' originally aired from 16 June 1959 to 7 June 1960 by Granada and was hosted by Barry McQueen in 1959 (Chris Howland and David Gell each hosted in 1960). It was later revived by TVS from 4 September 1988 to 1990, hosted by Nick Jackson and Bob Carolgees. Both versions were shown on ITV, while the American version with Alex Trebek was also shown by Sky One in the 1990s. ==Format== Two contestants sat before a game board divided up into 30 squares (25 in the TVS ers). Behind each square was part of a rebus (pictures and symbols that make up a word or phrase), names of prizes, and special squares. One at a time, the contestants called out two numbers. If the prizes or special action did not match, the opponent took a turn. However, if the contestant did match, that prize was placed on a board behind the contestant; or, he/she could perform an action. The second number had to be called out within a certain time limit, otherwise the contestant's turn ended. More importantly, a match also revealed two pieces of the rebus. The contestant could try to solve the rebus by making one guess or choose two more numbers. There was no penalty for a wrong guess; even if he/she was wrong, he/she kept control. Usually, a contestant waited to solve the puzzle until he/she had exposed a good portion of the rebus through several matches. In rare instances, the puzzle was solved with only a few clues showing. 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「Concentration (UK game show)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
