Chronology
Related shows	Concentration

Concentration originally aired from 16 June 1959 to 7 June 1960 by Granada Television and was hosted by Barry McQueen in 1959 (Chris Howland and David Gell each hosted in 1960).

It was later revived by TVS from 4 September 1988 to 1990, hosted by Nick Jackson (not to be confused with the radio personality of the same name) and Bob Carolgees; unlike the American version, the bonus round was played with eight trips and the contestant was awarded the non-matching trip for clearing the board.

Both versions were shown on ITV, while the American version with Alex Trebek was also shown by Sky One in the 1990s.
