Vidiot

Vidiot

"Vidiot" was a children's television game show broadcast from 1992 to 1995 on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. It was hosted by Eden Gaha for the first two series, then Scott McRae for the 1994 and 1995 season. Dylan Lewis was also a host at one point.

The game format was mostly a simple verbal question-and-answer, with slight variations like timed rounds, visual aids, and audio aids. Questions were themed on popular teen culture - Chart music, recent films, etc.

For each Monday to Thursday broadcast three new teenage contestants battled to win a place for the Friday broadcast. A live audience, often fellow students from the school from which the contestants originated, was present (although references were never made to any school during the show).

Vidiot was recorded in ABC's Sydney studios. On the east coast of Australia it was broadcast 5:30pm weeknights.

Vidiot is also the term used by Ken Nordine in a sketch titled "The Vidiot", on his 1957 album "Word Jazz". The sketch is of a patient in a therapists office, describing his addiction to TV, and saying he has become a vidiot.
