Radio Times: Review by:; Jane Rackham

Inspired by hearing how someone bet their life savings on red coming up on a Las Vegas roulette wheel (they won), Simon Cowell has devised what’s being trumpeted as ITV’s most expensive game show ever. “It’s not about talent or skill – it’s just down to luck,” Cowell says. Sounds a bit like X Factor.

With flamboyant stunts (in the heats, one involved the Hoff, explosives and a bungee wire), increasingly frenzied contestants, hosts Ant and Dec and a live format stripped through the week, we’re going to love this. The last contestant standing each night will get a 50/50 chance of taking home a million.

About this programme

New series. Game show broadcast over seven nights, hosted by Ant and Dec. Contestants guess the outcomes of a series of challenges for the chance to win £1million on the spin of a wheel. Each night, 1,000 hopefuls gather at Wembley Arena, before being whittled down to eight in the studio. The show closes with two finalists remaining, one of whom could end the night a millionaire. Tonight's show features a performance by Leona Lewis. The results are at 9.15pm. Continues tomorrow.
