It found that appearing on Family Fortunes is the best chance a quizzer has of taking home some money.

In its research, Payset found that shows which involved elimination rounds, carry-on rounds and a higher number of contestants were harder to win. As are shows which require a specialist level of knowledge.
Conversely, the company says chance based games are the easiest to win as they level the playing field between contestants and involve more luck.
