Wipeout was a British television quiz show for BBC One, based on the original American programme of the same name.

First shown on 25 May 1994, it ran for nine series: the first four of which aired at primetime and were hosted by Paul Daniels; and the last five at daytime and hosted by Bob Monkhouse, with the final episode airing on 17 April 2003, 8 months before Monkhouse died on 29 December 2003.

In the Monkhouse version, green ticks were used for correct answers and red Xs for wipeouts.

If it was hidden behind a Wipeout, the player was awarded a cheap prize, usually one to do with the answer (e.g. a can of oil and a lollipop).

The player remained in control until they had achieved the number of correct answers with which they won the bid, or until they hit a Wipeout.

The contestants were told in advance where the holiday would be in the Daniels era, but when Monkhouse took over they could choose where they wanted to go provided that it was within Europe.
