Either/Or (TV series)

Either/Or (TV series)

Either/Or was a surreal 1999 television comedy game show, which was broadcast on the digital channel UK Play. The show takes its name from the book "Either/Or" by Søren Kierkegaard. It starred Simon Munnery as his League Against Tedium character and was a precursor to his BBC series "Attention Scum!". The show was largely a launchpad for Munnery's unusual comic monologues.

In the quiz, a fluctuating number of contestants assembled in a circle. All of the contestants had to wear hoods and long gowns, to cover their identity. Munnery posed bizarre questions to which each contestant had to answer, with a placard, either one way or another. Those who answered 'correctly' to this question were deemed 'winners', and, as such, 'won' the right to remain anonymous. The questions continued until only one person remained, the loser, whose identity was exposed.
