Edit: Thanks to Nico W for the tip off, German show Cash Crash (being piloted in the US for Fox as Don’t Drop the Cash IIRC) starts 8:15pm UK time tonight on RTL. In it people try and keep hold of cash as they go through obstacle courses. If you watch let us know what you think, regrettably I’m elsewhere tonight. I have already decided a UK version of the show under the title Dale Winton’s Cash and Carry would be massive.

Do you like it deep? Well that’s GREAT, because it’s the first deepstack tournament of the 2013 BSOP Sunday at 8pm. $10+1 to play and open to anyone regardless of talent or league ambition. Top player/players get paid. Come and join the “fun”!

Also it sounds like Louis Murphy is back with a new computer, and a new episode of Fifty 50 Show is being threatened on Monday. He is looking for guests for a Sunday record, to have a word with him on Twitter @Fifty50show.

Meanwhile it sounds like Bother’s Bar non-favourite The Money Pump is being piloted in the US. We don’t think that much of the Israeli original but Buzzerblog points out that it turns out the original pilot did indeed have a proper physical setpiece. Although by the looks of things it still doesn’t pump so much as just blow the money round a central tube:

And for comparison, the new and improved pitch film (I am proud to have invented the term “pitch film”, I meant “sizzler” but I had a mental block once).

We discuss the original Israeli show here. ITV Studios have bought the international rights, for whatever reason.

@bothersbar Some Avanti Un Ultro news soon…

Hello Punters, a quiet period. But we’ve got some exciting stuff lined up over the next few weeks, including having people at not one, not two, not three, NOT EVEN FIVE but *four* recordings lined up, including the new series of Pointless filming next week. What *is* the new endgame going to be like? By the sounds they’re backtracking a little on that. WE’LL SOON KNOW.

This Sunday at 8pm it’s out first double stacked double staked game of the BSOP season. $11 to play and very maybe a whole big bunch of money to be won. It’s open to anyone, so do join us.

Also it sounds like there’s a French version of amazing Italian show Avanti un Altro being pencilled in for France 2. Fingers crossed it will be excellent as French adaptations often are BUT this is crying out to be a Vincent Lagaf show on TF1. The Italian show is so good I fear adaptations will not translate its slick lowbrow charm. We’ll see though.

Meanwhile TVSProductions82 is our current fave YouTube channel. Look it’s got full episodes (two) of Concentration and everything.

Hello everyone, tonight we’re playing a free game of Stud as part of our Mix It Up Real Good poker series. Please come and join us, it’s free to play and ought to be fun.

Here is a basic crib sheet for the game, for those who haven’t played much stud before.

In other news My Little Princess starts on E4 tomorrow night, we will have a Show Discussion post for it, although we’re mildly annoyed it clashes with the third and final story of Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror anthology so I’ll probably be watching it on +1. So there.

Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway is back tomorrow, or from the hushed tones of Twitter and internet forums, Ant and Dec’s Second Coming of Jesus Christ Super Fun Show. Good advert.

I am massively intrigued as to how it does. Sure, the original was good fun in a lowbrow Noel’s House Party way and I have no reason to believe the new series won’t be the same (although its appeal was hugely ephemerial, you probably can’t actually remember much of it). The difference is Ant and Dec’s (particularly Saturday Night) stock has fallen over the last few years, I’m a Celebrity and Britain’s Got Talent notwithstanding, what was the last show they did that was a proper bona fide hit?

Given that they apparently stopped doing SNT not because of the ratings (it was still doing OK!) but because they were bored of it, this feels like a bit of an admission of defeat.

If it doesn’t get 7-8m+ tomorrow, everyone will point out that it’s a bit of a failure. I think that’s a bit unfair, I think if it gets 6m everyone should be fairly pleased. It’d be their biggest Saturday night hit in years.

I hope it works out for them.

However, if they are not literally giving away the prizes advertised during the show itself, now Product Placement is a thing, someone ought to be sacked.
