The People's Quiz (originally known as The National Lottery People's Quiz) was a BBC National Lottery game show broadcast on BBC One from 24 March to 23 June 2007, hosted by Jamie Theakston and featuring William G. Stewart, Myleene Klass and Kate Garraway as the 'Quiz Panel', who asked the questions to the contestants.

Following poor ratings and negative reaction from critics, the National Lottery cut its association with the show, and from episode six onwards, the show was retitled as simply The People's Quiz with the National Lottery draws moved to a separate live broadcast for the remainder of the series.

The quiz was open to nearly everyone, in that the only excluded categories were: The first round of the audition consisted of contestants turning up at six major venues in the UK: Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow, Manchester, Belfast and London.

Contestants were allowed multiple attempts to qualify but organisational problems meant that this was not always possible at the earlier venues.

On the evening of 5 February 2007, all surviving contestants rang a phone line to receive a randomly selected 20 question quiz.

Complaints ranged from long delays at the early auditions through to being effectively kept in solitary confinement at Pinewood Studios.

At the end of the allotted time period – 2 minutes (or 90 seconds in the final show) – all the survivors got an "On the Buzzer" question.

The next week, the eight contestants from the start who didn't play in "Do or Die" were joined by two of the other survivors from the Final Audition Weekend.

In the Grand Final only Stephanie, Mark, Mick, and Will respectively qualified from "Only the Strong survive" and into "Brain Chain".
