Vladimir Putin sent his greetings to the participants, organisers and audiences of the What? Where? When? television quiz show on its 50th anniversary.
The message reads, in part:
“Since its inception, your show has covered a long, fascinating and eventful path from a family quiz to one of the most popular creative, educational and entertainment programmes on national television and a true mainstay of the airwaves. The format and rules of the game have changed many times, but your loyal audience has always valued it for the entertaining and exciting rivalry between the players and the viewers, for the brilliant intellectual duels, for the firm traditions passed down from one generation to another, and for the special friendly atmosphere of the show.
It is gratifying that your show has not aged over time; it continues to appeal to people of different age groups and professions and with varied interests, serving the noble goal of promoting the value of knowledge, education and culture in our society.”
