German term

die Show, die Wissen schafft

German to English Marketing Marketing / Market Research TV show
Can anyone think of a clever way to translate this one? Or am I stuck with "the science show"?

CLEVER
Unter dem Motto „Die Show, die Wissen
schafft“ sendet SAT1 diese neue, humorvolle Wissensshow,
die Fragen zu Alltagsphänomenen

Francis and Stephen: There actually is an English-speaking country interested in importing this show.
Stephen Sadie Dec 24, 2005:
@francis: why this question to kim?
Francis Lee (X) Dec 23, 2005:
Why do you need an English title, Kim? Surely nobody's actually going to import a piece of Sat1 "television"?

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you, Stephen. I think I'll go with the science show in the know. It's just a working title - the people who are producing this show in an English-speaking country may well come up with their own title."
