Quicksilver was a television quiz show produced and broadcast in Ireland by RTÉ and hosted by Bunny Carr from 1965 to 1981.[1][2] The show was broadcast each week from a different Irish town, with a live audience. Competitors were selected from the audience by drawing numbered tickets, prompting many amusing exchanges as they competed for small monetary prizes. Musical accompaniment was provided by organist Norman Metcalfe, who frequently provided musical hints to the answers.

The centre-piece was a large board with illuminated numbers that indicated remaining prizes.[3] The lights went out one-by-one as the contestant tries to answer three trivia questions.[4]

The show's catchphrase "Stop The Lights!" is still used by Irish people to indicate mock amazement.[4]
