99p Challenge

This was a comedy panel game hosted by Sue Perkins in which someone stood to win 99p live on air! Just when you thought that radio couldn't plunge the depths any further, three series appeared to prove you wrong!!! To prove how contrite the set up was, there were even writers credited for the show: Kevin Cecil and Andy Riley, joined by Jon Holmes for series 3.
