Here’s some fun, TV’s Greg Scott uploaded his full pilot of Hold On To Your Seat, the English language version of Tout le Monde Veut Prendre sa Place recorded on the French set some time ago.
Of course they filmed two pilots at ITV Towers back in 2011 hosted by Ben Shepherd and Michael Ball. We wrote about the Michael Ball one and at the same time was unfairly uncomplimentary about Ben Shepherd who we like these days, I think it’s because I’m out of the demo now. And will be out of it even further on Sunday HINT.
Speaking of European game shows – not quite a European format, unless one uses either an ESC or a UEFA definition of Europe – something I hadn’t realised until tonight is that the Spanish version of Boom! (entitled, inevitably, ¡Boom!) airs in the same 8pm-ish slot (which of course in Spain is a shoulder-prime early evening slot) as Pasapalabra, on the former network of Pasapalabra, and does the “perennial returning champions vs near-impossible endgame for a rolling jackpot” like Pasapalabra.
And last year had a winner bigger than any on Pasapalabra. I don’t know if anyone posted this at the time, but this is… a thing. Also, what is it with the Spanish and massive rolling jackpots on stripped game shows?
Mmm, this was briefly bought up just over a year ago when the last team won it:
