        Here’s a translation of the press info..

        WEDNESDAY JUNE 13th IN THE FIRST EVENING – Paolo Bonolis conducts a special episode with Gianluigi Nuzzi, I intend to discover the secrets of the pre-evening quiz of Canale 5!

        Wednesday, June 6, 2018, in prime time on Channel 5, special appointment with “Forward another, well in the evening!”, The game show of the records conducted by Paolo Bonolis with Luca Laurenti.

        After another record-breaking season, with a listening average of 4,394,000 viewers, a 21.65% share, (+ 10.5% compared to last year) and a clear leadership on the 15-64 year old target with 25.77% share, next one more! Also this year wins the prime time of Canale 5.

        Among the many surprises, during the evening, the two matters will receive an unexpected gift: Barbara D’urso will enter the studio. Also, super host also Gigi D’Alessio. A surprising version of Laura Palmer …

        For one evening the mechanism of the game will be completely revolutionized and the competitors, divided into two teams, “reality” against “reality”, will compete with the bizarre questions of the game show. To play in the reality team Alessia Mancini, Cristiano Malgioglio, Carmen Di Pietro, Franco Terzulli and Marco Ferri.

        On this occasion, fun and games will be for good: the prize money will be donated to the non-profit organization CE.R.S (www.adottaunangelo.it) that deals with free home specialist assistance to children with severe disabilities and their families.

        Do not miss the lounge with its eccentric characters, led by Miss Claudia, (Claudia Ruggeri), in addition to Dr. Maria Mazza, the Laura Laura Cremaschi, the injector Franco Pistoni, the bonus Daniell Nillson and the good fortune Francesca Bramilla. All characters born from the mind of the host and the authors and ‘found’ through thousands of casting throughout Italy thanks to Sdl2005, the company that since the first edition has dealt with the search for competitors, characters and the public.

    the “surprising version of Laura Palmer” was Luca Laurenti in disguise. He was brought on stage inside a body bag! 😀

    Did you manage to catch Armchair detectives, Brig? Disappointed I missed it. Was it any good?

      It was quite smartly done, in a Phoenix Wright sort of drawn art style. Something I assumed was a quiet gag turned out to be one of bits of evidence.

            Umm, to be honest I came up with the tennis theme first because it would be relatively easy for Cory to film IRL. But then he had the idea to do it Phoenix Wright-style so it didn’t really matter after all. And I had the ideas for the sports clues already, so the title came from that. Then the puzzle took quite a while to perfect, and the script even longer (sorry, Cory!)

        I’ll hop off this thread for a bit in case they put the video up on the site at some point! I’d love to give it a watch, having been a huge fan of the Uk series!

        I’m not quite sure why they needed to put the text scrolling noise over the video. Was a bit distracting for me.

        Thank you so much for the link, Mr B and bravo to you and Daniel for your story there – I think it really worked well but agree the darts reference was wasted over the ocean. As for the bitcoins, a GENIUS usage in this scenario but I dread to think how the Calman would have explained that to the 2pm BBC audience! All in all, very pleased and hopeful for a second series…. any news?

          I’m not stupid – I know the darts thing was unlikely to be got (except by Jason Cook in the chat stream). But I have to have a few things left over for the reveal.

          BBC still deciding over a second series.
