Odd One Out: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Odd One Out was a quiz show that was hosted by Paul Daniels and broadcast on BBC1 from 1982 to 1985. The object of the game was to guess which one of four items does not belong & why it doesn't belong. After the player has successfully identified the odd one out, he/she can either guess the explanation or challenge his/her opponents to guess. Choosing the correct item is worth two points, and figuring out why it doesn't belong by guessing the common bond of the other three is worth three points more, for a total of five points.
