Glad five are trying another gameshow, but I doubt it will bring the audiences in. 19 Keys with Richard Bacon was a really good show but being on five in early primetime nobody cared for it.

I think this quiz is actually called "Speculation" and looks set to be shown in primetime (rather than early evening).

Les Dennis joins Five in "Speculation", a brand new, primetime, weekday game show made by Endemol company Initial. Contestants pit their wits against each other to secure the big money prize.

You can guarantee it won't be a big hit, it just doesn't sound original or must-see. They're building it up to be big, which is a surefire sign it won't be - the biggest hit shows are more-often-than-not surprise hits, such as DOND or The Weakest Link.

The Grid is the new name for what was Speculation.

I don't think Deal or No Deal was a "surprise" hit, given how successful it had been around the world. Except Germany.

You mean a few sheds and almost falling apart buildings bodged into studios? They're after Audience members if you email them I'm sure you could go to a filming...

Seems that every man and his dog is chasing Endemol for formats at present.

ITV have a new Endemol format coming out, C5 have this Speculation, the BBC have 1 vs 100 (a big hit in Europe and a big-budget show on NBC in the States but somewhat low-key here). Seems they can do no wrong at the minute.
