The 1% Club season 2 release date: Rules, trailer and news for Lee Mack show
Lee Mack is back for another round of tricky questions on ITV.
Gameshow The 1% Club returned to our screens last weekend, with Lee Mack once again looking to find the smartest percentile in the country amongst each week's contestants.
If memories facts, figures and dates isn't your strong suit, then don't worry - the premise of this game is that the questions are all logic-based, intending to test intelligence rather than knowledge.
Once again this week's episode will start with 100 contestants hoping to walk away with £100,000, but as the questions become harder their numbers will dwindle, until the remaining quizzers answer a question that only one per cent of the country got right in the final round.
The show's official Twitter page has posted a behind-the-scenes look at Mack getting ready to present the show, ready to get viewers in the mood for some more brain-busting quizzes.
Here's everything you need to know about The 1% Club season 2 on ITV1.
The 1% Club season 2 release date
The 1% Club returned on Saturday 15th April at 9:25pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
The new season will run across eight episodes, with 100 contestants taking on the ITV quiz every Saturday.
The 1% Club season 2 host
Returning to host season 2 of The 1% Club is Lee Mack, a comedian and presenter who is best known for starring in the sitcom Not Going Out.
Mack has appeared on multiple panel shows, including Would I Lie To You, QI, 8 Out of 10 Cats and Never Mind the Buzzcocks, while he's previously presented Duck Quacks Don't Echo and Freeze the Fear with Wim Hof.
The 1% Club season 2 rules
The 1% Club sees 100 contestants take on a series of questions, with the last remaining contender winning up to £100,000 if they can answer a question that only one percent of the country gets right.
Every episode starts with the 100 contestants being given a question that 90 per cent of country answered correctly – those who get the question right move onto the next round, whereas for every contestant who answers incorrectly, £1000 is added to the prize pot.
Each round gets progressively harder, moving on from a 90 per cent question to an 80 per cent one, 50 per cent and eventually a one per cent question.
If just one contestant remains and they correctly answer the one percent question, they take home the £100,000 prize pot.

As for the questions, ITV teases that they're "all about logic and common sense" so "it doesn’t matter if you’re 15 or 50, this is the quiz that the whole family can play together".
An example of a one per cent question would be: "What is the first number that when spelled out has its letters in alphabetical order?" The answer being "40 – F-O-R-T-Y."
