Not sure I can quite believe it given how bad it was first time around.

Ratings plummeted last time around, do they really think they'll buck the trend this time?

    With a bit of luck, it will stiff as I have never seen a more mindless, ITV type show in my life. Do ITV have to treat their viewers like idiots?

    I find it amusing that the media have already spoiled the results of the first few shows, by saying someone won however much they won. With the prize fund rolling over if a contestant is unsuccessful, the viewers will know that the first few people don't win :D

    I'm looking forward to the inevitable failure... but that doesn't mean they'll not try and bring it back for a third series.

    As for ITV, having not watched much of their programming in the last decade, I'm afraid so!

    Well there is a good excuse for anyone mad enough considering watching not to do so!

    Common sense would say you make shows like this live then there can be no spoilers!

    Or replace it with some mindless zeleb version. ITV1 and even more so ITV2 have no idea about quality now, it's all lowest common denominator rubbish on Saturdays. Then they wonder why their ratings are collapsing as only the most undemanding viewer could sit through their shows.
    Also that pile of lowbrow, Daily Star reader tat The X Factor starts on Saturday.

    Well, BGT and X Factor worked so they'd obviously think that.
