The 99p Challenge

The 99p Challenge is a spoof panel game originally broadcast on BBC Radio 4.

The show is presented by Sue Perkins and features a selection of regular panelists such as Armando Iannucci and regular writers Kevin Cecil, Andy Riley, Jon Holmes and Tony Roche.

Panelists are given silly tasks by Perkins (in a manner not dissimilar to those given on I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue by Humphrey Lyttelton) and are awarded pence for being funny.

This is the second version of the panel game that was previously transmitted by BBC Radio 4 in 1998 as King Stupid.

After the panellists are introduced, a brief snippet of Carl Orff's O Fortuna from Carmina Burana is played.
