September 2008 – Do you know your Fimbles from your Flumps? The difference between Neighbours and Newlyweds? If not, then you’d better brush up on your TV trivia because the ultimate test of knowledge is here!

Ubisoft® has teamed up with Focus Multimedia to bring Telly Addicts to the PC for the first time. Focus, the UK’s market-leading publisher of budget PC software, is making the game available, at a suggested price of just £9.99.

Play against the computer or a human player, and test your knowledge of soaps, reality TV, drama, comedy and cartoons. The shows and questions span several decades, meaning there is something here for all the family, regardless of when they were born, or what shows played a part in their childhood. After six exciting rounds featuring famous clips, pictures and hundreds of questions, you’ll soon discover who is the real Telly Addict in your family!

The rounds are:

Round 1 – Screen Test: Look at a picture and answer a related question.

Round 2 – Classic Clips: Watch various video clips and answer questions about the show.

Round 3 – Spotlight: 5 questions to answer - with just 10 seconds per answer.

Round 4 – Reveal: Try to guess the person as the picture is slowly revealed.

Round 5 – Guess The Year: Look at a photograph and try to guess the year.

Round 6 – Randomiser: Use the spinner to select your category question – drama, cartoon, comedy, soaps & reality TV. Then test your knowledge!

Craig Johnson, managing director of Focus Multimedia, commented: "Telly Addicts evokes fond memories for a whole generation of quiz show fans, and it's the perfect format for a fun-filled computer game. Everyone who reminisces about their favourite TV shows will enjoy testing their wits against their friends and family."
