Saturday Night Takeaway 2018

How did a segment from TV-am get its own series?

How did an adaptaion of a French gameshow made as a spin off of a regional news programme get to be the launch show on Channel 4?

Because they haven’t pulled their sponsorship for this series. They’ve pulled ads featuring Ant & Dec and the sponsorship stings no longer feature them. Well only Dec’s voice.

Oh ok I understand

It’s a requirement for Suzuki to sponsor the show until the end of the series. Next year it will be sponsored by somebody different.

They haven’t pulled their sponsorship.

I'm guessing 'Masters of the Univers...al' would originally have been an Ant v Dec segment. Seemed to work with the three of them though.

It would've been indeed.

Denise Richards is a bit too reserved to be the Guest Announcer tbh.

Edit: Bland - I'd swap her with Craig David easily.

Hey look! A cue dot!

It's become Noel Edmond's Saturday Night Takeaway!

Surprising they're highlighting how much the the show is based upon Noel's House Party and how unoriginal some of the features are.

They have always admitted that Noel's House Party was their inspiration. They have never denied it.
