I just saw an ad for something in the break after Coronation Street. I thought "That's clever, whoever's made this ad clearly has a love of TV because they've done a really accurate job of recreating a bottom-drawer lowest-common-denominator gameshow. They've even made it look like it was shot with early 90s SD cameras."
It is bad. Sounded interesting, saw up to the first ad break and went away to wash my eyes out with soap. It's essentially Take Me Out meets Catchphrase meets Jeremy Kyle. Cheap and tacky typical ITV of old fare, the sort of stuff they stopped doing in the 1980s.

It's not great. Especially as they repeat the same round with different people at least 5 or 6 times just with different people. Though it's very ironic that Roy Walker does the voiceover on that show, he should really be doing the VO for Catchphrase!
Someone on DS is claiming to know someone working on it who's said they're definitely not working on Christmas Day so it looks like this will actually be broadcast on the run up to Christmas.
This has been in development hell at ITV for a long time. They had originally hoped to do it this Easter.
