From 7:55pm UK / 8:55pm in France. It’s on France 3 so you’ll need to use a naughty stream or the dark arts to watch. I’m busy tonight (in fact the next few days are going to be a bit quiet Barwise as I’m about to receive and set-up an exciting new computer – in theory Schlag den Henssler commentary and Game Night from my couch rather than an uncomfortable computer chair – exciting!) so will watch on catch-up at the weekend.
Here are the pre-titles and titles. I gather the original score composer has returned to redo the music.
In other news, this looks like Carnage.
30 killer cars. 3 deadly arenas. Absolute Carnage!
@Flintoff11, @VickNHope and @LethalBizzle take us to the middle of the desert for what can only be described as Mad Max meets Wacky Races. Start Sunday 6 May. #CarnageTV pic.twitter.com/IZDhocCGcA— Sky One (@SkyOne) 22 April 2018
100K Drop starts May 7th, per their Facebook…
At 4PM?!
Davina’s four trap doors vs. Ben’s four drop zones, this’ll be interesting…
Robot Wars is back! Yay.
But it’s not Robot Wars, it’s Carbot Wars! Boo.
I was thinking more Full Metal Challenge myself (which I liked- too bad it only got one season)
In other news, double dare is being revived by nickelodeon in the US.

“Classic kids game show Double Dare is returning to Nickelodeon. The network has ordered 40 new episodes for a new generation of trivia, stunts, wringers, hamster wheels and nose picking. Premiere is slated for this summer.
Nick says the new version will feature the gameplay and challenges its original millennial audiences remember from the show, as well as appearances from blasts from the past and stars from today”

Ironically, i first heard about it from joey graceffa (host/creator of escape the night, another murder-mystery show of all pepole!) complain about it, while he steals from whodunnit wholesale…

UPDATE: looks like he deleted it…. serves him right to act like a hypocrite…
Here’s the link for a fan website about La carte aux trésors that I partly work on : lacarteauxtresors.net
For the moment there’s not much to see but it will change in the next few days and weeks !
This was very faithful to the original as it turns out, the big innovation being light use of Augmented Reality-style graphics. New stencil style graphics are pretty good – clean. Quite liked the reversionings of the original background tunes and theme. Copious viewer competition questions are a thrilling addition.
Symbolic handing over of smartphones to Cyril at the start.
Three puzzles each timed at 30, 20 and 30 minutes to earn picture hints for Rose au Vents, hunt for Rose au Vents is not against clock, a straight race (clue involved an anagram which was fun, although it feels like the other clues are still mainly of the “Find X who does Y with Z” variety). Final Treasure challenge a straight three minute physical task around a local monument, although this one had a mental aspect as well.
Still terrified a contestant is going to cause an accident when they thrust a microphone into a driver’s face as they’re driving, but it’s great that you can once again get free lifts around France just by wearing a red jumper and saying “I’m from Carte aux Tresors!”
