When you reach a bonus round, players ask the player to their left the corresponding bonus question, and if a correct answer is given, players move up the board.

During a period from July 2007 to January 2008 when all BBC phone-in quizzes were suspended due to mismanagement and defrauding the public, Popmaster was played using celebrity contestants. The first (and indeed, only) celeb to score maximum points was Richard Drummie from the aforementioned Go West - and what made this particularly impressive is that he did it without the outrageous giveaway clues Ken usually dished out to the celebrity players. For some obscure reason, people on the BBC staff were not allowed to appear but those who worked for the corporation as freelancers could - so Charles Nove was roped in as a contestant, but fellow R2 newsreader Fran Godfrey was barred. Wilkes, Emma (2 April 2023). "Ken Bruce to reportedly turn PopMaster into a TV show". NME . Retrieved 3 April 2023. On 29 January 2021, winning contestant Shar Doherty used her "shout outs" to propose to her boyfriend. She later said that she'd been inspired to do it after hearing the "interval" song in Popmaster that day: as part of a musicals theme day, Ken had played Stanley Holloway singing "Get Me to the Church on Time" from My Fair Lady.The formats are the same as the radio show. It consists of two rounds. For round 1, players start with a series of 10 questions, alternating between bonus questions. Players take turns to read out the bonus question from their card to the player on their right. After the 10 questions, the 2 players closest to the top of the board go through to the next round. For round 2, the 3-in-10 head-to-head final round is hosted by Ken Bruce! The player who gets the most correct answers in the 3-in-10 question wins and is crowned POPMASTER! Press the digital winner’s button to hear a message from Ken himself! Scan the QR code on the 3-in-10 question card with a smart device, grab a pen and pencil, and write down your 3 answers out of the 10 given before the time runs out! When Bruce was on holiday, PopMaster continued with stand-in presenters; these have included Alex Lester, Stuart Maconie, Michael Ball, Claudia Winkleman, Simon Mayo, Richard Allinson, Aled Jones, Zoe Ball, Fearne Cotton, Sara Cox, Trevor Nelson, Gary Davies, Jo Whiley, Scott Mills and DJ Spoony.

I’d be hopeless at answering the questions,” Bruce suggested. “You need to bring the information to the front of your mind at the right moment and I couldn’t do it.” What is the PopMaster TV prize? Relaunched as "New Popmaster" in 2002(?) with a new "specialist subjects" twist whereby three of the questions are on a subject selected from a choice of two (originally three) and worth double points. In the early days there were often quite specific subjects (on a particular artist or genre) in the selection; nowadays these are rarer and the subjects tend to be pretty wide-ranging, like songs with colours in the title, "female singers" (so that'll be about half of all solo artists ever, then) and the much-hated "Name the Year". PopMaster (briefly known as Celebrity PopMaster from 2007–2008) is a popular music radio quiz. Between February 1998 and March 2023, the quiz was part of the weekday morning Ken Bruce Show on BBC Radio 2 and currently airs on Greatest Hits Radio beginning in April 2023. The questions were originally devised by radio producer and music collector Phil "The Collector" Swern, [1] but are now written by Neil Myners and Simon Bray. Each player is dealt 2 bonus question cards and asks the player to their left to choose which of the two categories they want as their bonus round questions.The incredibly cheesy jingle that for a while was played when players successfully completed Three In Ten. We miss that. Gary Davies, host of the station’s Sounds Of The 80s, will present the mid-morning show until new host Vernon Kay takes over in May on a date that is yet to be announced. Each edition winner gets a special PopMaster silver disc, with the series champion taking home a Gold version. The winning contestant then goes on to play "Three-in-Ten". In this part of the quiz they have ten seconds to name three UK Singles Chart hits for a particular artist or group named by Bruce. If they successfully manage this they win a smart speaker; if they fail, they win some Bluetooth headphones. However, if a contestant scores 39 points in the main quiz, they automatically win a smart speaker, and the losing contestant plays the Three-in-Ten instead. Should both contestants score the same number of points (and the score is less than the maximum), a tie-break is used to decide who will play Three-in-Ten.
