Take on the Twisters

A new daytime quiz show starting Monday, taking the 5pm slot for 6 weeks. Hosted by Julia Bradbury.

The format:

"Featuring eight giant timers, the ‘Twisters’, with each running for a different length of time; contestants must use a combination of knowledge and strategy to defeat their opponents in the first part of the show in order to then have a go to Take on the Twisters, where they have the chance to win thousands of pounds."

It's described as "a combination of quick-fire and multiple-choice questions allowing viewers of all quizzing abilities to play along at home.". I hope this offers a good alternative to The Chase (which ITV are at danger of overkilling).

    Is it a game show where people have to stand still in a tornado?

    OMG I see the questions are as stupid as the contestants. Things definitely are dumbed down these days.

    I like Julia Bradbury but I'm not sure I like the format of this.
    I've probably just got withdrawal symptoms from The Chase though!!

    Julia and her twisting has a lot to live up to when taking over the slot of probably the best game show on tv at the moment. In my opinion, of course.

    4 mins in & all I wanna do is TWIST her neck. The word tacky sounds too glamorous to describe this.... "programme "

    This reminds me of another show where you stick or twist. The name escapes me though.

    They are all annoying me already. I think her 4 year old would be doing better.

    What's your first?

    Pointless would be my second (although a very, very close second).
