The UK's most 'winnable' gameshow is Channel 5's Eggheads - and University Challenge the hardest, a study has revealed. Researchers studied 28 major TV quizzes to analyse which have the highest 'win-ability'.

They were scored out of 20 on their maximum cash prize, number of team members and opponents, volume of questions or rounds, and the type of skill required.

University Challenge scored the lowest, with no cash prize and the most difficult to win - although winning Jeremy Paxman's show carries considerable prestige.

Pointless was second on the win-ability chart, followed by The Wall, The Chase, and Rylan Clark-Neal's Supermarket Sweep. Which of these gameshows do you think you could win?
