Scottish contestants required for a show called Danger Balls, which would make a great nickname for someone.
We are looking for fun pairs living in Scotland to take part in our brand new BBC Game Show, Danger Balls.
You could choose to leave with guaranteed cash. Or you could hold on for a chance at the jackpot, but risk leaving with nothing…
Danger Balls: The game where only the last ball left in play at the end wins the big cash prize. So unlike Bingo or the lottery, players are hoping their numbers stay ‘in the bag’ for a chance to win. Every show features three teams of two who’ve each been allocated 5 numbered balls. As the balls are picked from the bag at random the teams must answer questions to eliminate an opponent’s ball or save their own. The show also has compelling moments of strategy. Will the players cash in their balls when given the chance or hold out and hope for the big money, even though it could mean leaving with nothing?

We got that blurb from SRO, but I can link directly to the BBC site here. Let’s hope they use “I’d like to cash in my balls!” as a catchphrase.
In other news, it looks like The Time It Takes with Joe Lycett starts next Saturday at 5:40pm, which I’m not sure shows a lot of confidence in it, but at least it’s only 35 minutes if it’s not very good. We hope it is though.
I saw this on the BBC Take Part site, and the description sounded so vague and ridiculous I assumed some bored BBC employee had made it up for a laugh. A bit like how Letterbox sounds like such a dull idea I can only assume it was pitched as a joke. As much as they say Danger Balls is only a working title, the only thing funny than that title being used in the final thing would be if that Microsoft PowerPoint For Beginners placeholder titlecard is used in an actual broadcast program.
Sounds a bit like Mercante In Fiera: hope your cards don’t get drawn until the end, and if you feel lucky you can sell them.
