Two contestants answering questions, with five celebs (Gary Lineker, Hary Judd, Larry\u00a0Lamb, Deborah Meaden, Sally Lindsay). One contestant then booted and the remaining plays for crap prizes like a breadmaker, chicken strimmer etc. Round one questions are like \u2018In a survey, what is the most annoying thing on a plane\u2026\u2019\u00a0And in Round Two, the answers are numerical- celebrities answer and then an average is taken and the contestant has to decide\u00a0whether its higher or lower. I.e how many arguments do the average couple have a week.\u00a0It was funny and is a lot better than the BBC\u2019s current Saturday night output.\u00a0Would be very surprised if it wasn\u2019t commissioned. The entire audience were in hysterics.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So there we are.
