BrainTeaser was a British game show based on the original Dutch format of Puzzeltijd (English: Puzzle Time). The show was broadcast live, with phone-in viewer puzzles being announced and played during the show in addition to the studio game. During its run from 5 August 2002 to 7 March 2007, it aired on Five Mondays to Fridays, usually for an hour around lunchtime, and was fronted by various presenters rotating with one another (most notably Alex Lovell, who was the only presenter to front the show for the entirety of its run). Beginning in August 2005, a version of the show that exclusively focused on viewer participation was broadcast in a four-hour long block on YooPlay TV (A joint-venture between Five and YooPlay) every day after the Five broadcast, as part of a thirteen-week trial. Channel 5 suspended the programme on 8 March 2007 after it was revealed that the production company, Cheetah Productions, had misled viewers regarding winners of the viewer puzzles (which were entered using a premium rate phone number). Actions included publishing fictional names and presenting a member of the production team as a 'winner'. On 26 June 2007, Channel 5 announced that the show had been cancelled after 1122 episodes after media regulator Ofcom fined the channel £300,000. Presenters Initially, the show was presented by Alex Lovell and Craig Stevens, who alternated with one another week by week. They were joined later in the show's run by Rachel Pierman. After Stevens' and Pierman's departure in early 2004, Lovell alternated with Jonny Gould. At the end of 2005, Gould left the show and was not replaced, leaving Lovell the sole presenter apart from occasional breaks (which were usually covered by former regular host Craig Stevens). Format 2006–2007 format The most recent format ran from 15 November 2006 until the show's suspension and its eventual cancellation. In each show, there were four contestants, all of which play the first three rounds. The lowest-scoring contestant is eliminated after each of the third, sixth and eighth rounds, so that only one is left standing for the Pyramid. Except for Word Wheel and the final Pyramid game, all rounds are on the buzzers, with the opponent given a chance to answer if the player who first buzzed in answers incorrectly. Rounds played by four contestants Scramble Words of eight or more letters are partitioned into four or five pieces, rearranged and
