Answer: Business investments

"Dragons' Den" (in the UK) and "Shark Tank" (in the US) are essentially the same format of show but with a different name. In basic terms, contestants make a business pitch to a group of investors and finish by asking for an amount of money in exchange for an equity share of the business.

The investors then scrutinise the business idea, its financial history (and/or projections) and the pitcher themselves before deciding if they want to make an offer.

Question by player LeaRock

Answer: Toronto

Since it premiered in 2008, "Murdoch Mysteries" has combined detective, historical, and science fiction (almost steampunk) to create a show appealing to multiple demographics. Detective William Murdoch, a polymath, solves crimes through meticulous observation and logical thinking, and in doing so he sometimes invents precursors to contemporary devices such as night-vision goggles. Murdoch's love interest is Dr. Julia Ogden, a pathologist for much of the series' run. Though a murder mystery, the program is full of humor, deliberate anachronisms, and cultural and technological references to the future ("What if we had a web of telegraph networks? And made it worldwide?" asked Constable George Crabtree in one episode). Characters from history, such as Henry Ford, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Mark Twain (played by William Shatner), appear in the show and even assist Murdoch.

It originally aired on CityTV in Canada but switched to CBC at season 6.

Answer: The Weakest Link

"The Weakest Link" was first broadcast by the BBC in Britain in 2000. It featured a number of contestants answering questions by the fearsome host, Anne Robinson. She always dressed in black and was noted for mean, sometimes cruel, putdowns of failure.

Contestants who left the show were told by her "You are the weakest link, goodbye". The show was quickly picked up by US television, and also featured Robinson as host. It was to go on to be broadcast in 45 countries with local hosts, making it the second most aired gameshow franchise ever.

As part of the licensing agreement the BBC, at least initially, insisted that the host should always dress in black, be mean, and send contestants off with the familiar tagline, in their own language.

If you got this question wrong, then as our Spanish friends would say, "Eres el rival mas debil, adios!"
