In case you missed it, Endemol are currently hawking round a format called The Code<\/a><\/strong> at MIP which we talk about in the Revolution<\/em> thread (sorry). It struck me as a pretty unexciting mish-mash of old ideas (it’s ‘half questions’ + ‘random numbers’ + ‘simple logic puzzle’), it struck me that if Endemol have an idea, they’ll keep putting it in things decades later until they find something that might stick. It feels like this is a format that somebody pulled the lever on some sort of Endemol slot and that’s what came up.<\/p>\n

So with that in mind, I’m going to pull the lever and I’ve come up with “Cash Bash” (“half questions” + “multiple choice quiz minefield” + “comedy obstacles”). This is how I envisage it working:<\/p>\n
