After what seems like forever (we watched a recording of it June 2023<\/a>), Password<\/strong> finally appears after a fairly successful US Jimmy Fallon reboot. Of course it’s not a new show, we’ve had versions on various channels across the last sixty years or so, although I think the last version here was the Ulster Television one in the mid-1980s so it will be a new show to anyone under the age of about 40 here. And really it doesn’t play a great deal differently from that – contestant and celeb (Alan Carr or Daisy May Cooper) give one word clues to their team mates in the hope they guess the Password and hopefully \u00a310,000. In a nod to modernity there’s an “ask the host” (Stephen Mangan) lifeline but really that’s about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Classy set and stylish theme though. We’re extremely intrigued about the strategy for this, this was always destined for a late-night Saturday slot, they were talking about this at the recording, but there’s not really much in it that justifies<\/em> it having a late night slot, we’re wracking our brains trying to think of another show with proper stakes (ITV Play stuff not counting) that started this late or later. Still, if it’s a success then it opens up the possibility space for more of this sort of thing late night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
