Ok, it is a Sun story but if it is true I really hope the pilot goes well, I love this quiz. Fingers crossed is won't be dumbed down and filled with loads of "Celebs".

To be fair, this show will actually be ruined by ITV's obsession with Vernon Kay. We don't know if celebrities will be involved or not.

Agree with this, I'm not a fan of him on Family Fortunes. Family Fortunes is awful these days with him hosting and the z-list so called celebrities. He simply doesn't suit the programme.

Vernon is obviously popular in the real world as he's been doing FF years now, This is currently series 6 that is airing.

It's the only thing he has done for ITV that has got past a couple of series though isn't it?

The Price is Right or the Generation Game, maybe, but not Play Your Cards Right. That's solely Brucie's show.

Although to be fair both Beat the Star and The Whole 19 Yards did OK too with around 4-5m viewers, and arguably both deserved another series.

I really think though ITV should record 30 minute episodes (of this and Family Fortunes) rather than hour long editions which can be recorded in bulk and slipped into the schedule as and when required. They'll have that Thursday 8.30pm slot to fill once Corrie returns to Wednesday, and I can't see the planned family sitcoms lasting long.

Without the z list celebs for both programmes..please. Leave that for Christmas and New Year editions of the programmes. I admit maybe I've been a little harsh on Mr Kay though...each to their own and all that. Laughing

There is only one person who should host a new series of Play Your Cards Right ... and it isn't Vernon Kay!

I can see it now:

Vernon Kay will be the host.
Peter Dickson will be the voice over man.
The audience will clap in unison to the opening theme.
Ant and Dec will be slipped in somewhere.
The likes of Peter Andre and Brian Belo will be the contestants.
