Rebound (game show)

Rebound is a British game show that has aired on ITV since 17 August 2015 and is presented by Sean Fletcher.

Background

Rebound is one of two summer replacements for The Chase, the other being Freeze Out, both of which were commissioned for 10 episodes. It is fronted by Sean Fletcher, who once described the show as "his dream job" and confessed to putting in sixteen hour days in order to fulfill the commitments of it and Good Morning Britain. It was inspired by the bleep test and first aired on 17 August 2015 on ITV.

Gameplay

Fast Cash

The first round involves the players trying to boost their bank balance. They are each asked three questions, each with four answers. Fletcher takes ten seconds to ask a question, and the contestants have ten seconds to enter their answer during which Fletcher reads the answers. Each question is worth £1,000, and decreases by £100 per second.

Head to Head

In this round, the players play against each other. The person with the most amount of money picks the first opponent - in the event of a tie, whichever player made the most amount of money off the first question picks and in the case that no-one remaining has anything left, whoever was quickest to lock in their incorrect answers picks - and the first category, out of two related options. Each player is handed three lives, and is asked alternating questions; wrong answers or answers not given in time lose lives. The answers will only be registered on the system when the rebound bar is in that contestant's half. When one life is lost, a new category is selected by the winning contestant. This process repeats itself until one player loses all three lives, at which point all their money goes to the winning player. This process repeats itself twice, in total happening three times.

List of Ultima characters

This is a list of significant or recurring characters in the Ultima series of computer games, indicating the games in which they appeared.

The Avatar and his companions

The Avatar

The Avatar is the main character in the series. The Avatar is first known as the Stranger from another world, who defeats Mondain, Minax, and their spawn, Exodus. The Stranger becomes the Avatar once his goal changes to following the path of the Virtues, and retrieving the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom from the Great Stygian Abyss. This is noted as one of the first uses of "Avatar" in the virtual context. In the fifth episode, the Avatar defeats a repressive regime over Britannia, and in the sixth he brings peace between men and gargoyles. In the first part of the seventh episode, the Avatar infiltrates the Fellowship in order to stop the Guardian from entering Britannia; in the second part, the Avatar prevents imbalance from destroying the universe and receives the title of the Hierophant of Balance. In the eighth episode, the Avatar escapes the world of Pagan by defeating the four Titans, becoming the Titan of Ether. In the ninth and final episode, the Avatar defeats the Guardian by destroying both himself and the Guardian with the Armageddon spell. The Avatar is also the main character in both Ultima Underworld games.

Spark (radio show)

Spark is a Canadian radio talk show about "technology and culture." Hosted by Nora Young, the program made its CBC Radio One début on September 5, 2007. The show is also broadcast on Sirius Satellite Radio 159 and, since January 9, 2010, on Vermont Public Radio's network of stations in the United States.Spark is produced in Toronto by Young and a team that currently consists of Michelle Parise, Dan Misener, and Kent Hoffman.

The program is made collaboratively with its audience. Nora Young often encourages listeners to become "Spark Contributors" by participating in the active conversations on the Spark Blog, notifying the Spark Team of interesting ideas to investigate, or even recording interviews and letting Spark use them on the show. The show often plays phone messages left by Spark listeners and features comments left on the Spark Blog. Its episodes made use of Creative Commons music until October 2010, when CBC management realized that Spark was available on some platforms considered to be commercial, violating use restrictions of most of the music available under the Creative Commons licenses. This prompted Spark to limit its use to the APM Music library.
