This is a new game show where the contestants aim to win £10,000. All they have to do is answer the questions correctly as each round one of them will be eliminated until there are only 3 left and they face off for the money.The contestants are given answers, at least one is wrong, and they pick the one they think is right. If more than one person wants the same answer they answer a question on the buzzer to see who gets its. Once everyone has a answer they go and find out who is wrong.
So far so predictable, but the what makes this show different is the way the contestants leave. Dropped off an 80 foot (24 metre) platform, dragged behind a car, dropped into a pool attached to an anvil and the way they are forced to wait makes this strangely compelling. It is all done safely but for real, and the contestants fear is played upon by the host Steve Jones.
Steve is the perfect host, almost sadistic in his treatment of the contestants, drawing out the fear while laughing at their predicament. He is caustic in his observations, and able to show whether the contestant has gotten it right wrong just by looking at them. His co-host is Nemone, who explains the method by which the contestant will be leaving, and interview those who fail along the way.
The show is simple and strangely compelling. High art or culture it is not, but for switch your brain off entertainment, you could do a lot worse.
