It’s about a man who can steal luck by touching them, and a man who wants his luck back by finding the luckiest man alive and challenging him to Russian Roulette. Quite interesting.
7pm and 9:15pm Saturday and variously across the week, ITV1
Well here we are then, months of speculation come to a head this week as Syco’s Red or Black? hits our screens potentially making seven millionaires.
And basically I have got no clue as to a) whether it will be any good or not or b) if it will be successful. I think if the games are quite You Bet-esque then it’sd in with a shout, and that’s initially what it sounded like, but since then we’ve seen pictures of people hoping to match a big jack in the box and picking cars and I’m not sure I see where the entertainment value in that lies.
Similarly will the excitement wear off after the first million, or will people tune in to that spin every night? Time will tell, use the comments thread for your thoughts.
Don’t worry, Red or Black? will be getting a seperate post, here’s somewhere to muse about everything else on this evening. INCLUDING!
9pm, Channel 4, Friday and Saturday
New series starts tonight, some questions to will be answered such as “is 90 minutes a night too long?” and “which will come off better – this or Big Brother?”
It’s on for the next six weekends. Presumably you will be able to play along here.
It sounds like they’re adding a new ‘hazard’ element to the next season of The Amazing Race. What could this be?
I hope it isn’t another rubbish kick teams when they’re down element.
Meanwhile, Alexander Armstrong’s Big Ask has evidently been comissioned for a series, and Argumental is returning to Dave with Sean Lock and Robert Webb.
Films in Machester today. Is anyone going to it? I’m interested to hear what you think.
I can’t say the title fills me with a great amount of confidence, second only to Guess the Star in the category of shows likely to rate less than 3m on the title alone stakes. Stephen Mulhern’s hosting this.
