What happens

50/50 is a British children's television game show for BBC television. It was first broadcast on 7 April 1997 and ended its run on 12 July 2005 after 9 series. Repeats aired on BBC One, BBC Two and the CBBC channel until 2009. Sally Gray hosted the show from its inception until 2002, followed by Angellica Bell until 2004 and Sophie McDonnell in 2005. The voice of the show's computer, named 'Flynn', was provided by Matthew Davies between 1998 and 2000, then by Gary Martin in 2001 and finally by Dave Kelly from 2002 to 2005. The show featured a competition contested by two teams, each represented by schools, of fifty 11– and 12–year–old pupils who were randomly selected to take part in physical games and quiz rounds to score points. In addition, all players voted in 'true or false' questions to observational rounds. In most series, prizes were awarded to both schools, but a trophy was awarded to the winning team from series 5 onwards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
