So this is quite interesting, there was a call out for contestants for this on UKGameshows.com<\/a> last week (you’ve got to the end of the week to apply), today it’s been revealed that Jeff Stelling will be fronting a revival of Andrew O Connor’s \u00a0The Alphabet Game<\/strong> (originally on BBC daytime years ago) to be called Alphabetical\u00a0<\/strong>for ITV Daytimes, 10×60′ (so sounds like a summer Chase<\/strong> replacement).<\/p>\n

From Broadcast<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Taking elements of international versions of the original ITV Studios format, Alphabetical will be \u201cless like the comedic parlour game\u201d and take the form of a straight general knowledge quiz, with three contestants battling against each other for the chance to take on the returning champion.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

i.e. it’s going to be more like Pasapalabra,\u00a0<\/strong>the international version of the show with its famously tough endgame with its famously massively large rollover jackpots – over \u20ac2.1m at one point. It’s also going to have returning champions which is unusual these days.<\/p>\n
