"We'd like to thank Jason and the team for all their hard work."
Unbeatable saw players pit their answers against each other that tested their knowledge and convictions.
Each contestant could play it safe and win £100 for each correct answer.
However, if they're feeling confident they've picked the best answer they can take a risk and press the unbeatable button for £1,000.

Unbeatable's axe comes after the BBC axed daytime soap Doctors after 23 years.
Show runner Kate Oates confirmed that the latest batch of episodes to be filmed are the last as the show is no longer affordable within the broadcaster's daytime budget.
Filming will continue through to March 2024, with the final episode set to air in December.
