Here is a round up of interesting things people have posted or has become apparent recently:
- Mel Giedroyc has apparently been chosen to front C4 draw-y game Draw It! This comes hot on the heels of Sue Perkins being a team captain on Win Lose or Draw Late about ten years ago.
- Rylan off of The X Factor has apparently been chosen to host the new upmarket Big Brother’s Bit on the Side. The main show will also apparently feature older people this time round and will feel more like a “social experiment”, TV’s most meaningless phrase.
- The Cube is coming to France 2 as a 30 minute daily show.
- The Chase has been recommissioned in Germany for eight more episodes. There will be six celeb episodes of Gefragt Gejagt (Answered Hunted IIRC) and two civilian ones.
- NBC’s The Million Second Quiz will be a genre-redefining rip-off of 24 Hour Quiz, by the sounds of it.
- Meanwhile Exit, SyFy US’ take on Bother’s Bar favourite DERO! will premiere on June 4th. It will inevitably be disappointing, but this picture doesn’t look too bad.
- Dick de Rijk’s got a new show in Bulgaria! It’s called Good Luck! Bad Luck! (although locally it seems to be called Undress For Your Luck) and appears to be a general knowledge version of that bit with the surveys on Play Your Cards Right.
AND THAT’S ALL THE NEWS *shuffles papers*
Nice to see The Chase recommissioned in Germany, though a real shame it’s the civilian episodes which are effectively the specials.
MEANWHILE Tipping Point: Lucky Stars, a 12 part celeb version, has been commissioned.
And we thought the show was going to flop- 2 series done, another longer one on the way, and now a celeb version? It might not be a runaway hit, but it’s been a nice little show for ITV…
Ironic how a show about a coin pusher machine has lasted longer than the revival of The Krypton Factor, really.
Sort of sums up the ITV1 audience really 😉
I hope it’s going to have an audience, I’m totally going.
You mean this audience call?

NICE ONE.
Going to be in London early in June so going to be on the lookout for any TV shows I can see (probably on June 14th – so will be keeping an eye out on the audience sites)
Can’t guarantee there will be a lot on unfortunately, peak tends to be Jan/Feb and Aug/Sept. for new shows at any rate.
I know. Just trying to pad out a weekend in London.
The only thing I’ve seen for June so far is Break the Safe which a) is on the 12th, and b) films up in Scotland. Sorry!
