Only thing I recall about Jailbreak is firstly, I didn't watch it - and secondly it had the woman in who went on to take part in Survivor.

(By the way ITV, C4 bought back Shipwrecked, the BBC are doing the same with Castaway so it's time you bought back your best reality format - though this time don't let anyone called Mark host it!)

They should bring back 'The Mole' - that was the best show on TV back in 2000 / 2001


I believe it's presenter has made a name for himself in the finance industry in the last couple of years.

Isn't he a banker these days? Wink

I'd forgotten about the quiz " 100% ", cheap but addictive! I used to love Whittle with Tim Vine, although I coulnd't help more than a passing resemblance to the ITV quiz with Chris Tarrant, which I think was called Everybody's Equal.

It was Everybody's Equal, it was just that Whittle was a success in it's own right (Whittle had two series, EE was just a pilot) but with a far lower budget, the top prize per episode was about £250, but the show wasn't about the money, it was a rather funny game show.

I'm sure Everybody's Equal ran for at least one full series...

Talking about cheap, there was also the quiz with that bloke where you won a Channel 5 branded notepad

I agree Whittle was a good fun show, they should bring it back. The jackpot was actually £500 http://www.ukgameshows.com/page/index.php/Whittle

Tim Vine was a very good host too. British TV should use him more!

Yep it was with Tony Wilson and some bird as well.

Remember the Going for Gold rip-off One To Win with Mr. 100% himself Robin Heuston?

maybe as a birthday surprise they can put up some more transmitters so the rest of the country who pay the same TV licence and don't have satellite or cable can actually watch it as well.

I think it's wrong they get away with only serving half the country because it's available on satellite or cable

What's it got to do with the licence fee (which funds the BBC)?

Anyway, can't you get it on Freeview?
