What happens

SF-studio is a Finnish quiz show hosted by Simo Frangén. It replaced Frangén's earlier show Maailman ympäri in 2004 and ran until 2006. Like Maailman ympäri, SF-studio was a themed show. This time the theme was news. The questions concerned people and events in recent news, and a short parody of a news report (with completely nonsensical contents) appears between each round. Also like Maailman ympäri, SF-studio had four contestants, two of which were men and two women, and two were celebrities and two ordinary people. SF-studio had one main prize: a holiday trip. Where the trip was located depended on the choices in the fourth and final round. There were five different options, starting from a cheap trip inside Finland, and getting progressively more expensive and further away, with the best option being a trip to some famous sunny beach holiday resort near the Equator. Smaller prizes were recently published Finnish books, all autographed by some Finnish celebrity who had nothing whatsoever to do with either the book or its author. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
