You’ve got to feel a little bit for the BBC here. Announced first last year as a Saturday night quiz where contestants have to identify pictures, it was apparently set to go out in the Spring where it was beaten to the punch by In With A Shout<\/strong> (a Saturday night quiz where contestants have to identify pictures), internationally John De Mol’s Talpa has had some success with The Floor<\/strong> (a primetime quiz where contestants have to identify pictures) and even the recent The Finish Line<\/strong> has a lengthy round where contestants have to identify pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically having to identify pictures has become all the rage and now this looks a bit like a copycat despite probably being first off the block. In this show pairs of contestants have to identify pictures, and if they identify ALL the pictures that’s a PICTURE SLAM! and they win a large cash bonus. One team will try and identify all the pictures in the final for \u00a310,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’ve given it the pre-Strictly<\/strong> slot so you can’t say they’re not trying (and indeed other 7\/10 banger shows such as Catchpoint<\/strong> and The Hit List<\/strong> have done pretty good business in that slot), although it’s interesting that they’re putting The Wheel<\/strong> after Strictly<\/em> this year and not at half past six – that felt early then, this feels extremely<\/em> early by comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
