I’ve got a letter here from TV’s David Bodycombe:
EDIT: David thanks you for your interest, places have been filled.
Go to it, punters.
In other news it also looks like Cash Trapped might be looking for contestants although this doesn’t as yet appear on the ITV Be On TV page, so make of that what you will.
Edit: A lot of people seem surprised by this, but the reality is CT was doing almost 2m an episode as a Summer Chase replacement across four weeks. I don’t think its return was ever really in doubt, the issue was finding time in Brad’s hectic schedule (between the seven-eight months Doctor Who takes and the three plus months The Chase takes) to make more I suspect.
If we attend does that mean we will get to meet Mr B himself? Having admired his work from afar for so many years I think I’d be a bit starstruck!
I can assure you it’s not that exciting.
I’m very surprised they’re making more Cash Trapped. I really liked it, but everything I remember seeing online about it at the time was overwhelmingly negative, which made me think it almost certainly wasn’t coming back. A lot of the people who didn’t like it said they didn’t understand the rules, but I understand it perfectly.
These back to back seasons I presume will be stored up & shown at two different timescales. I.e. one in spring 2019 & one in summer 2019. I don’t think they will sit for more than a year. No 2020 I hope but with season 12 of DW shortly going into production for upto 9 months it’s a probability.
