'''''The Ultimate Challenge''''' (commonly known as '''''TUC''''') is YSTV's flagship long-running live (mostly) quiz show. Originally created by [[Michael Miller]] and [[Sanat Misra]], and presented by Michael, it has been YSTV's most regular live broadcast for a while (until the arrival of [[Monday Evening Live]]) and is used to train many new members on equipment, directing and many aspects of live shows. It is also a recent example of adventurous set design - [[Mike Chislett]] created its trademark floating letters, suspended by wire from the grid, and the lighting scheme that gives the show its trademark blue colour (TUC Blue) - and technical innovation, as it was the catalyst for the creation of the [[docs:TUC Buzzers|TUC Buzzers]].<br />
<br />
Later series have been presented by [[Tanya Cook]] and [[Lucy Walters]], and produced by [[Kieron Moore]] (from January 2012) then [[Christopher Parker]] (from early 2013).<br />

==Format==<br />
Two teams of two contestants face each other across the desk and compete for points. The show contains three main rounds - the Rapid Round, the Challenge Round and the Ultimate Round. Rapid and Ultimate are buzzer-based general knowledge questions. For the Challenge, the contestants have to perform a task - usually drawing something ridiculous, inventing song lyrics, blowing up balloons, a picture spin quiz or anything that can be thought of by the producer.<br />
