With thanks to Buzzerblog for spotting this, Endemol Shine have a format called Trapped Doors knocking about, a show where couples must escape a series of concentric circles banking money along the way by picking good doors. Run out of keys and it’s game over.
The game doesn’t sound all that, it’s a scratchcard basically. But just take a look at the set. Very cool, and a potential health and safety nightmare.
In other news, Endemol Shine are working with the director of Bother’s Bar favourite The Genius for a new show called Society Game, which is looking for contestants. We’re trying to work out what it actually is.
“A mock society game show will unfold in a controlled village environment over 14 days between 22 contestants.”

“If you complete the challenges given to you and survive until the end, $100,000 will be yours.”

“Join the special survival game about ‘society’ and ‘leaders’.”

Interesting stuff. Basic translation suggests something a bit like Survivor In A Village, but I don’t know.
Because the problem with The Door was that there clearly weren’t enough doors, 19 Keys had too many/not enough keys, and the Exit List focused too much on getting into the maze.
Looking forward to more Bumdidlyumptious subtitled series – I still have to catch up on Crime Scene but that looks good.
The door thing looks amazing but I will have to see how it goes.
