When the Death Match then takes a surprising turn, which player's time will be up? Game show, hosted by David Tennant

Review

Frances Taylor

When even the contestants need to use a pen and paper to keep tabs on what’s going on, what hope do viewers have? Admittedly, not all the conundrums in this series of strategy and logic have been hard to follow, slow or dull — but tonight’s amply manages to be all three.

Safari Race sees the seven remaining players using poker chips to back models of animals in a bid to be first across the finish line. Whispered conversations around the table, including exclamations of “split the crocs!” and “flamingo — one!”, ring out in a puzzle that truly puts the bored into board game. Continues tomorrow at 9pm.
