Bournvita Quiz Contest, the longest running quiz show on television, achieved another milestone today, as it announced an unique 26 weeks series that will air from 24 February every Friday at 7:30 pm on Sony. The show will be called Cadbury Bournvita Quiz contest -- Confidence Challenge. It's a unique concept whereby participants will have to exhibit a proven skill to be able to qualify.

Always a weekend show, this avatar of BQC will usher in the primetime slot on Fridays and this bodes well for the show, which has always been a popular show on the channel. "It's different in more ways than one. We are not looking at allrounders, but for kids who have proved their skill in a particular field. They will be judged not only on their quizzing skills, but also on other aspects that will showcase their levels of confidence. I am humbled at the talent on display and really, from here the show will move from the niche to the masses!" says quiz master Derek O' Brien. Another aspect of the show that will be different from the original is that Shonal Rawat will be co hosting the show along with O' Brien. "She's not just a pretty bird. She is a chemistry honours and contributes to the show immensely," says O' Brien. The show will turn bi-lingual now, with Shonal doing the talking in Hindi.
