A new game show "Show Me The Telly" starts on Monday (25 Nov), presented by Richard Bacon,
The show tests how much celebrities know about television to win up to £3,000 for charity. Chris Tarrant leads a team of celebrities each episode against a team of civilian contestants.

This from itv press release:
"Show Me The Telly is the television archive-fuelled quiz that pits the wits of a team of TV Lovers against a trio of TV Legends.
Each day, host Richard Bacon presides over three time-served TV know-it-alls captained by Chris Tarrant who are all looking to display their prowess as they play against a team of friends, family or colleagues all trying to outdo them with their impressive knowledge of TV trivia and hopefully walk away with £3000 at the end of the show."
Its been a while since we had a TV themed quiz, I miss Telly Addicts, I love TV and even Telly Stack, just wish I had seen the search for contestants earlier.

from wikipedia: Picture format 16:9 576i SDTV
Actually its better that The chase and Tipping Point take a break otherwise they will get really stale like Countdown, Deal or No Deal and Come Dine With Me. Plus its a chance to try something different, I am actually looking forward to this new show.
Wiki is wrong!!
It's not going in the same slot as The Chase...its going in at 4pm so not a replacement....
So its a Tipping Point replacement
All I will say the show is a refreshing change instead of having Tipping Point and The Chase constantly rammed down your neck. I say that because maybe one of the teams playing against Tarrant and Co in the series might feature little old me, you just have to watch and find out
Have a look at the ITV Press Centre release and you'll find out neither are on which was certainly pleasing to hear
Agreed. The Pressure Pad on the Beeb at 3.00pm is absolute rubbish. I only managed 5 minutes of the first show. Don't particularly like John Barrowman anyway.
Bacon, Tarrant and Feltz on the screen at the same time? Sheesh, they never gave this a chance!
Bacon almost gives the answer in the question, they are that easy
"Win, Lose or Draw" would have been a better bet if ITV wanted some "celebs" vs "public" banter.
Alternatively, just have a famous person on each team with two members of the public.
20 episodes of this....
Normally in a first episode of a new quiz show you have a winner. The producers move around episodes to ensure this.
So what happened? Did no one ever win?
Crap - in other words.
