Description "A very funny Australian play about what makes a man want to win... and the way the odds are stacked against him if he does. Ted is a TV quiz king, until he becomes unpopular with viewers and has to be removed. The play makes serious points about the deadliness of a society addicted to possessions, and the unscrupulousness of television."
