Thanks to FOTB Squared Eyes for the heads-up:
Blimey.
Note also three teams, the set looks a little bit the German one, I wonder how much inspiration has been taken from Null Gewinnt which I thought was a pretty good reversioning to make episodes self-contained although evidently not popular enough to get a second run, hopefully the Dutch one will do a bit better.
The show starts on Monday.
Wonder if they’ll follow one of the other formats (can’t remember where it was at the moment) for the final…the main difference is that if any answer gets down to 10, they stop the count temporarily, and offer them €2,000 to end the game right there-even if they had answers left, or try for €10,000 for a Pointless answer (Maingame Pointless answers are worth €500 they keep win or lose).
That’s the Swiss one (Weniger ist Mehr).
Apropos of nothing, this compilation of gameshow fails had some jaw-dropping moments I hadn’t seen before – particularly in the middle section. There’s also a part 1 and 3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvTVN6KPl3Q
I’m quite surprised they didn’t reshoot the Aussie Letters and Numbers one!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDZ2cRBLIDw – it got a fair bit of traction!
Ha! Amazing.
Also apropos of nothing, Penn & Teller: Fool Us has finally returned for a second series, but this time only in the U.S. … and still hosted by Jonathan Ross.

here’s one fresh fail from Italy

Race to Escape starts tonight on The Science Channel in the US, likely to be something worth keeping an eye on.
It’s an Escape Room gameshow.
Don’t know if it’s geoblocked, but the first episode is available online…

Hmm, right now I’m just getting a black screen whether I go through a VPN or not. Might try again tomorrow as I’m out this evening…
It may not be on the website yet as it has not aired. It may go like after the episode is shown and this may just be a holding page.
I’m hoping this is the case, but it is already avaliable on US on-demand services.
It was working fine for me online this morning- it was a sneak preview of the episode.
With a VPN it looks like you can watch ep 1 here:

I don’t have a VPN, but if you can bear to wait a few hours after broadcast, I just googled Vidbull and “Race to Escape”.
