I've recently gotten hooked on the British version of what is sometimes considered television's toughest quiz, and when I ran across the Australian version on YouTube I decided to compare the two. The result: not much difference.
(Terence Clyne's only movie script to date was set for a May, 1970, release, but as it happened, the completed movie was rejected by every first release theater in the country and didn't actually surface in mainstream cinemas until 1976. One of the problems was the film's original running time of 131 minutes.
'Manstermind' is a format that should last forever. It is without doubt (in my opinion) the best public-participation programme bar none.
