“Hang on Brig, this is just an extension of the brand, shouldn’t you just be pointing to the previous You Bet<\/strong> show discussion page<\/a> and leaving it there?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possibly. Possibly. I was as prepared to write this off as much as anyone, the two “specials” being a fabulously aggravating, poorly directed, poorly formatted watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But. But but but but. We were alerted to the On Tour<\/em> pre-titles in the ITV Press Centre<\/a> and this actually looks… quite fun?<\/em> Certainly much looser than the studio one (people have noticed tonal simularities with In For A Penny<\/strong>) – if you don’t want to invite comparisons with the original then making it completely differently might be quite smart. It looks like if you succeed at your challenge you win \u00a35,000, and I believe the best celeb bettor also wins \u00a35,000 for charity, but there’s been no mention of any forfeits (although that looks like Holly Willoughby on a rollercoaster so they might not have been completely removed). I don’t even know if they’ve even kept the audience betting – each episode was recorded over two days, they could have just had whoever was around going to a website on their phone or something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We might be getting overexcited about a show that sounds like it’s basically the best bits of shows that are a bit like You Bet!<\/em> but aren’t You Bet!<\/em> from the past twenty years, and there will still be the nagging feeling that the editing and direction will still have been designed to irritate everyone over the age of 25. But for now I’m willing to give the benefit of the doubt. Let us know what you think in the comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
