1 vs. 100 is a BBC National Lottery game show based on the original Dutch version called Eén tegen 100. It aired on BBC One from 30 September 2006 to 23 May 2009, with Dermot O'Leary hosting the first two series and Ben Shephard hosting the last two series.

Format

A single contestant designated as The One competes against a panel of 100 people, collectively known as The 100. To win the game outright, the One must eliminate all members of the 100 by answering a series of questions correctly.

On each turn, the One selects one of two categories and the host asks a multiple-choice question with three answer options. The 100 are given six seconds to lock in their guesses, after which the One is asked for their answer. A correct response adds £1,000 to the bank for every member of the 100 who has missed it and eliminates all of them from the game. If the One successfully eliminates all 100 opponents, they win all the money in the bank plus a bonus of £50,000. However, an incorrect answer from the One at any time ends the game immediately and forfeits all the money. Unlike other editions, such as the American version of the same name, a loss by the One does not allow the surviving members of the 100 to split the bank. In addition, the One has no option to walk away and keep the banked money, but must play until one side or the other is defeated.

After answering the first question correctly, the One is given three "dodges," each of which can be used to skip one question at the cost of cutting the bank in half. Members of the 100 who miss a dodged question are still eliminated, but no money is added to the bank. Once the One has eliminated over 75 opponents, one of the offered categories for the next turn becomes "Bonus Dodge," which awards one more dodge if chosen and answered correctly; however, this question cannot be dodged. In addition, the One may choose to double the value of any one question after the first, adding £2,000 to the bank for each opponent eliminated on that turn.

If all remaining members of the 100 miss the same question, the host announces this fact before revealing the correct answer and then gives the One a choice. They may either end the game and keep the banked money, including the payoff for all eliminated opponents on that turn, or play the question out in the hope of being correct and winning the £50,000 bonus in addition to the bank.

The potential top prize is £250,000, achievable if the One uses no dodges, eliminates every member of the 100 on a double-value question, answers it correctly, and chooses not to end the game.

For each new game, the One is chosen at random from the members of the 100 who avoided elimination in the last one, or from the entire 100 if all of them were eliminated.

-After having the opportunity to select one of two categories, a multiple-choice question with three options is revealed. The 100 is given six seconds to lock in their answers before the One is given the opportunity to answer the question. If the One is correct, any members of the 100 that answered the question incorrectly are eliminated from further play, bringing the lone contestant closer to winning the game. The amount of money in the contestant's bank also increases by £1,000 for each member of the 100 that are eliminated in that question. If the contestant eliminates all 100 opponents, they claim all the money in the bank plus an extra £50,000 for defeating them. However, if the One incorrectly answers a question, the game ends and they leave with nothing. Unlike other editions, such as [[1 vs. 100 (American game show)|the American version of the same name]], if the One loses the game, the remaining players in the 100 will not share the money accumulated by the One. Also, the One cannot walk away with the money they have accumulated in the game until the 100 is defeated.
+On each turn, the One selects one of two categories and the host asks a multiple-choice question with three answer options. The 100 are given six seconds to lock in their guesses, after which the One is asked for their answer. A correct response adds £1,000 to the bank for every member of the 100 who has missed it and eliminates all of them from the game. If the One successfully eliminates all 100 opponents, they win all the money in the bank plus a bonus of £50,000. However, an incorrect answer from the One at any time ends the game immediately and forfeits all the money. Unlike other editions, such as [[1 vs. 100 (American game show)|the American version of the same name]], a loss by the One does not allow the surviving members of the 100 to split the bank. In addition, the One has no option to walk away and keep the banked money, but must play until one side or the other is defeated.
+After answering the first question correctly, the One is given three "dodges," each of which can be used to skip one question at the cost of cutting the bank in half. Members of the 100 who miss a dodged question are still eliminated, but no money is added to the bank. Once the One has eliminated over 75 opponents, one of the offered categories for the next turn becomes "Bonus Dodge," which awards one more dodge if chosen and answered correctly; however, this question cannot be dodged. In addition, the One may choose to double the value of any one question after the first, adding £2,000 to the bank for each opponent eliminated on that turn.
-At the end of the game, during the last question of gameplay, the host will announce when the last members of the 100 have been eliminated before revealing if the One has answered correctly. They will then be given an offer to bail out by refusing to answer their final question, thus taking home the money that is already in the prize fund (including the payoff for that question) but the One will not collect the £50,000 for defeating the 100. If they refuse to bail and decide to play, and the contestants' answer is correct, then they take home all the money plus the £50,000, but if the answer is incorrect then they leave with nothing.
+If all remaining members of the 100 miss the same question, the host announces this fact before revealing the correct answer and then gives the One a choice. They may either end the game and keep the banked money, including the payoff for all eliminated opponents on that turn, or play the question out in the hope of being correct and winning the £50,000 bonus in addition to the bank.
-During gameplay, The One has three "Dodges", where if they do not know an answer to a question, they can refuse to answer the question and play their "Dodge", but their accumulated money amount is halved. When the One has eliminated 75 opponents, they are given an opportunity to earn another dodge through the "Bonus Dodge" category, but they cannot play a Dodge on that question. In addition, after the first question, the One can also use their "Double" to earn £2,000 for each member of the 100 eliminated if the One answers the question correctly. The maximum amount of money a contestant can win is £250,000 if all 100 people are eliminated on a question using the double without bailing out.
+The potential top prize is £250,000, achievable if the One uses no dodges, eliminates every member of the 100 on a double-value question, answers it correctly, and chooses not to end the game.
+For each new game, the One is chosen at random from the members of the 100 who avoided elimination in the last one, or from the entire 100 if all of them were eliminated.
