Quiz dramatises the scandal surrounding Charles Ingram's appearance on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? The apparently simple business of answering questions becomes a story about television production, evidence and how a convincing account is assembled.

Matthew Macfadyen and Sian Clifford give the Ingrams an awkward recognisability, while Michael Sheen's Chris Tarrant captures the familiar presenter without the performance being the entire attraction. The programme around the contestants matters too: the money, the format and the effort involved in getting someone into the chair.

The compact three-part structure allows the perspective to change without turning the central incident into an overextended mystery. James Graham's dramatisation is interested in why people believe an interpretation, but it should not be confused with an independent retrial or a documentary record.

It is an involving short watch, particularly if the original broadcast culture is familiar. The Dropout offers another drama in which presentation and confidence affect what people accept, though on a very different scale.
