Matchpoint is a British game show that aired on BBC1 from 17 April to 14 June 1990. It is hosted by Angela Rippon.
On each edition, two teams of two contestants compete for a place in the quarterfinals by answering questions. For each correct answer they would score the points as in a tennis match e.g. 15,30,40,Game. Each programme was played by the best of 3 'Sets' and the team who won 2 sets won the show and moved onto the quarterfinals while the losing team went away with a bottle of champagne and a punnet of strawberries.
The prize for the winning team at the end was a trip to that year's Wimbledon event.
