“Due to human error, an incorrect daily overview crept into the commercial break on one occasion,” explains Barbara Salomon, spokesperson for Play4. “Fortunately, this mistake did not have any major consequences: only a few viewers noticed and reported it. But to avoid this in the future, we have now introduced an additional internal control mechanism. Because we obviously don’t want this to happen again, especially with the final weeks ahead.” (Read more below the photo)

Fewer questions
However, an accident never comes alone. Due to a technical malfunction at Telenet, some viewers suddenly saw fewer questions on Wednesday evening in 3-6-9, the first round. So it suddenly went very quickly: from question three it went straight to question ten. Although not everyone was affected by it. Anyone who watched the program live via Play4, for example, also saw all the questions in between. But anyone who watched via Telenet’s look-back function noticed the flags. The problem turned out to lie with the telecom company.

“The episode of The smartest person in the world could be viewed live on Play4 in its entirety yesterday without any problems,” the channel responds. “However, due to a technical malfunction at Telenet last night, viewers who watched the episode via Telenet’s replay function noticed a short interruption in the episode. Not all questions from the 3-6-9 round were visible.”
Anyone who wants to see the episode in its entirety can do so during the repeat this afternoon on Play4 or via the online platform GoPlay.(eadp, ds)
