Channel 4.0 has launched what it is calling its first “big money gameshow”. Hosted by celebrity Harry Pinero, £20K Play is produced by Wall of Entertainment and directed by Chris Goodson, with Tafara Makopa as executive producer.
£20k Play is a five-part series which sees five friends split up to win up to £20,000 for their group. All they have to do is secretly answer eight brutal, awkward and outrageous questions about the group such as: “Who is the most two-faced?” and “Who is the biggest disappointment to their parents?”. But with no way to check their answers with each other, each player can only rely on their intuition to choose their responses… and if they’re wrong, they’ll cost the group prize money.
Pinero said: “This show is a hilarious rollercoaster of friendship, honesty, and wild revelations. I can’t wait for viewers to see just how far contestants will go for a shot at £20,000 – and how much they really know about their so-called friends!”
With the show dropping on YouTube this week, Channel 4 digital commissioning executive Kaio Grizzelle added: “We’re thrilled to have £20k Play as the latest daring format on the channel. It has Channel 4.0’s unique flavour of mayhem mixed up with all the high stakes, humour and human drama of the gameshow greats.”
Makopa said: “This game is not just about winning £20,000; it’s about the hilarious and sometimes brutal truths that come out when friends face off.”
