Keith looked under-whelmed to receive his mystery prize...... a day's driving experience.
How uninspired.

I thought he'd taken go wank and played around with it a bit. That was a bad turn of phrase

Is his name Go Kwan then not Gok Wan?

Yes, it's an arcade game which is quite addictive if you're playing.
I think it's the quiz element which appeals to most people.

The prizes are a bit crap, but they're all like that. They're just the promo things which no-one really wants, and for which you probably have to drive halfway across the country to use.

It's a quiz combined with a random element. I've got hooked on it after watching it in the gym. A few weeks back, a couple of us were gripped with it while using the rowing machine. When the £10,000 was won as a near-last minute attempt, we both cheered

Ben would have said, but no I've seen something like 19 go in one, I think it was on a celebrity edition.

A worthy winner in Glenn. Shame he didn't get the £10k.

What a dreadful programme. The terminology used to try and build the suspense is cringe-worthy; Tipping Point. Drop Zone etc.

In an upcoming ITV show, we'll see if the the 'Claw of Luck' can pluck the 'Forbidden Treasure' from the 'Base of Banishment'.

Load of crap.

I think the series now is shot the same way as the celebs had it as I am sure it was different in the last series.

But I do have a rubbish memory

That's in the machines where you can't actually get any prizes out. The 2p machines just churn out 2ps automatically without intervention.

There's no audience in the main series.
