Freeze Out is the UK’s first quiz show on ice. A game of skill and quizzing ability, it sees contestants competing around a giant circular ice table.
Each round has a unifying premise: contestants answer questions to win ‘sliders’ to glide onto the ice table – onto which we project stunning, state-of-the-art graphics to create unique game boards.
In some rounds players must accurately land sliders onto tricky targets. In others they must smash opponent’s sliders out of the way. It’s a fun, friendly, all-embracing game – but one that brings out our players’ competitive streaks.
After four dynamic rounds just one player remains. They’ll take on our tense end game that could see them winning up to ten thousand pounds.
Freeze Out is essentially a brand new sport – combining accessible questions with a table game of skill, precision and power.
Hosted by the ever-affable Mark Durden-Smith, and officiated by former Premiership referee Uriah Rennie.
The latest offering from ITV's recent slate of new shows. Will this one continue the success the likes of "Flock Stars" has had amongst Digital Spy forum members?

Don't think I can take any more., and its only 8 mins past 5.
Have to be Pointless repeats
Having seen ten minutes of it I've seen nothing that would make me alter that view.
ITV quiz shows are now getting to the stage where they are so bad they are becoming beyond parody. You can honestly imagine Alan Partridge pitching something like this to the BBC:
"Look what about this? Freeze Out? General knowledge quiz,but we get them to push sliders about on a board made of ice. And we'll get a celebrity referee. Dress him up in a stripey shirt or something."
"Why do they slide things about on a board?"
"They just do. Never been done before."
"I wonder why. I don't think so,Alan."
"Monkey tennis?"
Really? I like Tipping Point but this is really boring.
I didn't mind Take On The Twisters to be fair. It just needed a better presenter than Julia Bradbury and a more stylish, less childish looking set-design.
But, yes, this is another dire effort that comes across more like a parody than a genuine game show.
Wish they'd bring back Golden Balls or Divided. Of all the comical efforts at quiz shows ITV have made in recent years those two were the best alongside The Chase.
I think the problem with both shows is that the rounds feel like they go on forever. The Chase is just as repetitive but it feels more snappy.
Bring back The Chase
BRING BACK THE CHASE!! >:(
