Exciting news this afternoon, Michael Kelpie from Potato (the ITV studio who make The Chase<\/strong>) announced on Twitter that they will be making a proper local version of Ninja Warrior<\/strong>. Potentially this is quite exciting, the Japanese one built up a cult following on Challenge over the years (although it had to be redubbed after the Stuart Hall allegations) and it’s been a number of years since we had an obstacle course show in the form of Total Wipeout<\/strong>. I just hope it’s a bit more impressive than American Ninja Warrior<\/strong> which I caught once and appeared to be mainly people running up and down a beach. Edit:<\/strong> If you want apply you can through this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You’re Back In The Room<\/strong>, a hypnotism game show with Phillip Schofield where people have to do physical and mental challenges despite having been comically hypnotised by Keith Barry beforehand films at ITV Towers 19th-21st January, tickets at Lost in TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile if you want to join Emma Willis in an air-hanger in Farnborough in Saturdays in February for Prized Apart<\/strong>, you can do that through SRO<\/a>. Still not sure on the logistics of that, the suggestion was it was going to be live, but Willis will also be hosting The Voice<\/strong> going out on Saturday nights. So who knows?<\/p>\n

In other news, there was so much good quizzy extraneous stuff in the Schlag den Raab<\/strong> commentary broadcast on Saturday<\/a> that as an experiment I’m looking into editing it down to just that (so you can see what you’re missing) and uploading it for Christmas. Fingers crossed tomorrow night or Xmas Eve morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
