Upcoming Attractions

By | January 15, 2025

We are so over 2024, what have we got to look forward to in 2025? Well we’ve scoured the ticket sites, this is what we’ve found thus far:

  • Love Takes a Village – although I don’t know which particular village (it’s filming in Dagenham), anyway it looks like Rick Edwards off of Fighting Talk is set to conquer the States again hot off the back 2022 non-hit The Courtship, alongside one of “Hollywood’s most beloved figures” (if it’s a mystery it’s usually Alfonso Ribeiro), as 100 people with opinions help someone find love. Game Show Network about a decade ago did a dating show called It Takes A Church, I suspect this is a secular version of a similar idea. It’s filming 27th and 28th January, tickets SRO.
  • The Winner Takes It All – I don’t know about you but I just love gameshows are “not like any other”, especially when the description of that show suggests contestants will be answering questions for money and prizes. The people behind Limitless Win and Sing On invite you to Salford on 4th February to stand around for 90 minutes (standing is annoying, but if it genuinely ends up being a 90 minute record then that’s fast) and watch a show hosted by two of Britain’s best-loved comedians and entertainers. Someone on the Discord suggested Rob and Romesh and that seems like a good shout, but we don’t know. Tickets via Lost in TV.
  • Wisdom of the Crowd – From the makers of The 1% Club, a show that asks how many jellybeans in the bottle for big cash prizes, the fact that it’s an eight hour record and you’re not getting paid expenses to take part suggests the wisdom of this particular crowd isn’t going to be very high. It’s for the BBC. The rehearsal day is Monday 27th January for the pilot recording on the 28th. Tickets/applications SRO.

Of course The Wisdom of the Crowd, the idea that if you average out the guesses of loads of people it tends to be fairly accurate, is as old as time and has been used for things variously for years. Here’s a pitch tape for a format that went round about a decade ago, this new show probably isn’t it, but there’s only so many ways you can dress up the idea.
