Heard about this new game show on ITV1 that starts on ITV1 on Saturday at 7pm. Watching the adverts, and hearing that it's the most expensive game show ever, I have a feeling this could be an exciting show.

Just add sob stories, six billion ad-breaks, too much talking and mix well.
Do Ant and Dec post in this one ?
(btw I am sure the programme will be over-hyped shite)
But I hope to be proved wrong
Plus, Ant and Dec are presenting, so ofcourse I'll be watching. I'd love to see Ant and Dec doing one of the 'stunts' or even a bush tucker trial in I'm A Celeb, instead of presenting and taking the mick and laughing at whoever it is if they can't do whatever it is.
I used to love quiz/money winning type shows but these days there are SOOOOO many I am totally bored by them all. Love Ant & Dec but not on this type of show. Having said that, I DID enjoy Poker Face. What happened to that.
And what has happened to Golden Balls. That show I DID love:(
Quite right, this programme is yet another attempt at giving away a million to attract viewers but it's old hat already as the first million pound prize has been and gone years ago.
The problem with the quiz shows is either the punters are too thick to get to the end or they bottle out at one of the exit points, this one seems to want to reduce the punters input to the lowest common denominator, heads/tails red/black.
I will look on here now and again to see how all you hype believers are doing.
...plus a variety of Cowell ex-X Factor singing acts for extra, and totally irrelevant to the format, padding - et voila...
:rolleyes:
You have got a valid point but it has been 4 & 1/2 years since a civillian walked away from a television show with a £1 million cheque.
You have a point with a lot of shows. On my favourite game show, The Crystal Maze, they usually got nothing more than a replica crystal but the entertainment is gave by watching and probably by playing really made up for the lack of prizes.
However both Millionaire and X Factor, both offering something life changing have got quite stale after a few years.
I hope Red or Black does prove to be good but if it doesn't there are always repeats of Crystal Maze and Blockbusters to watch on Challenge!
Re other godawful shows... it'll be interesting to see what the ratings are for Epic Win and Celeb Total Wipeout are this week - considering BBC2's airing Carry On Loving at the same time...
What the hell happened? Yeah - I know Blankety Blank, the Gen Game etc etc were pretty crap.. but at least they HAD production values and didn't insult intelligence too much..
And why is it on at 7 and at 9.15? I'll probably still watch it, I really enjoy Ant&Dec, but it's time $imon realised he's no longer needed in tv anymore, he's manipulated it enough and made enough people look like idiots and got enough money from twisting and manipulating things. Time's up, $imon Cowell.
e.g. with Million Pound Drop or Who Wants to be a Millionaire the big question might come at any point of the programme if it a live series during the week etc whereas with red or black they'll be able to control the time of the finish to be say 19:50-19:55 ish i.e. just before X Factor to get the audience at its peak for the ads.
£100k budget to sing a song? :eek:
ITV gameshows haven't had much appeal for me recently. Although I did like The Whole 19 Yards and Poker Face a while back. They've been the only 2 in the past 8 years or so I've really watched.
