The prize for Word Up! has dropped to £47, and the puzzle gets a little easier. Why not have a go?
And follow me on Twitter to find out EXACTLY when new letters get revealed. It’s normally 2330-0000ish, and you’re free to have a new guess as soon as the next letter comes up.
We’ve briefly mentioned Run the Gauntlet before, the action packed challenge show with Martin Shaw from the 80s with things like Supercats and The Hill in, and somebody had posted a clip from the 1988 celebrity special.
Well someone else has uploaded that entire episode, rather brilliantly:
I’m aware they’ve started recording Holding Out For a Hero for ITV1 today. If you go along, or you’ve been along, do tell us what you thought.
You can read thoughts on the pilot filmed in March here.
Alright first things first – it’s a new Happy Hour competition! Word Up! offers up to £50 for the winner, go and have a look.
Otherwise there’s not much to get excited about this week – Amazing Race Australia nears its climax, Fort Boyard 2010 is on TV5 on Monday although seeing as this is episode 8 of a 7 episode series I don’t know what it is they will be showing. Fort Boyard 2011 goes from strength to strength on Saturday – who would have thought painting some doors and knocking ten minutes off the running time would have been so successful?
So here’s a clip of one of my favourite new old things, Pied Marin:
Donny Osmond has been revealed as the, heh, ideniny of the US Secret Fortune pilot. So here’s a clip of Donny fronting The Pyramid Game:
The UK version was slightly bafflingly Donny-centric. When I went and saw it being filmed, I was one of the few non menopausal-women in the audience. And even if you applied to be a contestant, the form was all about how excited you would be to meet Donny Osmond. Baffling.
At midnight we’ll discover that Brian Dowling’s officially hosting Big Brother in the world’s least surprising surprise.
Hopefully we’ll learn who is hosting BBLB as well. Nick Bateman is getting a series of Big Brother’s Little Brother’s Cousin, but will he have Victor to spark with?
Edit: Brian’s hosting, Emma Willis is doing Big Brother’s Bit On The Side, which is basically Little Brother by the sounds of it. Pleased for the pair of them.
