I'd say most Sky shows today look pretty premium and feel like they've had a decent budget whereas Brainiac and their other UK shows around that time looked like proper low budget affairs.Brainiac reasonably did well for Sky, as well as some of their stints at documentaries and countdown shows. I'd argue Sky One was at it's best when Sky was able to produce the majority of its programming (or outsource them to companies like Shine and Twofour) with the big US acquisitions being able to carry the shows on top of them.
