The BBC is making a quiz show with a difference - all the questions will be published in advance.

The National Lottery People's Quiz aims to find the country's greatest general knowledge champion.

Jamie Theakston and Myleene Klass will host the Saturday night show with GMTV's Kate Garraway and Fifteen to One presenter William G Stewart.

The questions will be published beforehand, but as there are 200,700 of them, show bosses reckon no-one will be able to learn them all.

The BBC have consulted World Memory Champion Dominic O'Brien and a spokesman said: "He has told us it will be impossible to memorise that number of questions.

"However, we're sure people will try."

The winner will walk away with a £200,700 jackpot.

The subjects range from Posh and Becks to party politics.

"Whether you've got a double First from Oxford or an honours degree from the university of life, The People's Quiz is open to you," the spokesman said.

The show will follow the X Factor format with nationwide auditions early next year.

Auditions will be held in Glasgow's SECC on January 21.
