Two lines of thought here, it’s an extremely old-school show with an old-school premise – people draw pictures for others (each team two civilians and a celebrity) to identify against the clock for a nice prize. On the other hand everyone says they’re crying out for 30 minute formats so, well, here is one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US show it is based on<\/a> in an undemanding and frankly non-essential watch but there’s nothing outstandingly wrong with it, I just can’t see anyone deliberately tuning into it. Mel Giedroyc has hosted this sort of thing before, Draw It!<\/strong> about a decade ago on Channel 4 which had a big money prize attached to it – didn’t matter, ended up being a one-series wonder still. I love Mel, but I don’t think she has the claws necessary to get the biggest comedy out of bad drawing and bad guessing, it’s not really her thing, but it was the thing that people most remember about Win Lose or Draw<\/strong> in the 90s. We’ll see!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
