Well they say its to go up against Deal but I assume its more likely to take the 5pm slot as is Golden Balls Jasper Carrots new show which starts Monday.

Well I hope it's better than "For the Rest of Your Life" or whatever it's called. It looked really promising for about 2 episodes, but now it's like listening to fingernails on a blackboard. I just want to see the smug gits lose Laughing I knew at that point that I didn't want to know any more.

Actually I'm getting a bit sick of these Endemol-style gameshows to be honest. They're all so bloody dull -- anyone seen that "Payday" on C5? They're all just games of chance, russian roulette repacked for the 30001st time.

What a tacky load of rubbish. Only an idiot would be involved with such a show.

It's true though - he confirmed it himself on This Morning the other day.

It's going in the 5pm slot I think though.


It sounds as if it has more potential and isn't another attempt by ITV to rip-off Deal or No Deal with something quite similar - but alot crapper.

For the Rest of your Life seemed to have the same basic premise of randomly trying to avoid the reds, and it looks like Golden Balls will be something similar, though crossed with a bit of Poker Face.


Surely though it doesn't take a genious to work out calling a show Golden Balls is dooming it to failure?

It always the same though, they find a succesful quiz format and other producers do a copycat quiz show in an attempt to emmulate the success of the original. Confer The Weakest Link then its rehash Dog Eat Dog with Ulrikakaka.

Speaking of Ms Robinson, I hope she thrashes the new tacky ITV quiz-show in the 17:00 slot Twisted Evil .
