Do You Know Your Place? is a brand‑new celebrity quiz show, blending travel, trivia, and studio game show elements in a fresh and engaging format. Each episode challenges three well‑known celebrity guests to put their knowledge of the United Kingdom’s towns, cities, history and odd facts to the test. What sets this quiz apart is its unique structure: questions originate not just from the studio host but from on‑location segments that bring the country’s quirks to life.
The show unfolds across a combination of filmed segments and in‑studio rounds. In each episode, viewers are transported to a different location as part of the challenge, where intriguing and surprising facts are uncovered. These segments act as the basis for the quiz questions posed to the celebrities back in the studio, inviting both contestants and viewers to decide whether each fact is real or exaggerated.
Back in the studio, the energy ramps up as the celebrity contestants compete in a series of rounds that test not only their recall but their instincts about the truth behind what they’ve just seen. The games are designed to be light‑hearted and entertaining, with a focus on witty banter, surprising revelations about Britain and the competitive nature of celebrity guests trying to outsmart each other.
The programme is fronted by Vernon Kay, a seasoned TV and radio presenter known for his warm, witty style and extensive experience across British entertainment and quiz formats. Joining him is Paul Gorton, who rose to fame as a notable contestant on The Traitors and takes on the role of the show’s “unreliable tour guide.” In this role, Gorton travels to different towns and cities each episode to present the on‑location clues that form the basis of the quiz questions, sometimes helpful, sometimes misleading, adding an unpredictable edge to the game.
