1. Un, dos, tres... responda otra vez
TVE · from 1972
Chicho Ibáñez Serrador created Spain's most legendary game show: the Ruperta mascot, the hostesses and a nail-biting final auction. It brought the country to a standstill every week.
2. Pasapalabra
Antena 3 and Telecinco · from 2000
The final word-wheel round turns any afternoon into a football match. Its huge jackpots and star contestants have made it a ratings leader for years.
3. Saber y ganar
La 2 · from 1997
Jordi Hurtado and his general-knowledge champions have been on air for almost three decades. A classic that never ages.
4. Operación Triunfo
TVE · 2001
The first series was an unprecedented social phenomenon: millions of viewers and artists who still fill concert halls today.
5. El precio justo
TVE · from 1988
Joaquín Prat and his catchphrase '¡A jugar!' made history. Guessing prices was never so exciting in Spanish living rooms.
6. Gran Hermano
Telecinco · 2000
The first series changed television: a group of strangers locked in a house and the whole country giving its opinion. It opened the reality-TV era.
7. Grand Prix del verano
TVE · from 1995
Villages competing with young cows, giant mallets and impossible challenges, hosted by Ramón García. A byword for summer nights with the family.
8. La ruleta de la suerte
Antena 3 · from 1990
Spin the wheel, buy a vowel and solve the puzzle. The Spanish version of Wheel of Fortune has worked for more than thirty years.
9. Cifras y letras
La 2 · from 1991
Make the longest word and hit the exact number with six figures. The most demanding brain-teaser show Spanish TV has produced.
10. Allá tú
Telecinco · 2004
Sealed boxes, a banker on the phone and the million-euro question: deal or no deal? Jesús Vázquez and a format of pure nerves.
