Coming soon to Channel 4, The Bank Job is a week-long live event with a gripping online element that gives players the chance to pull off the ultimate heist.
Each night four players enter a bank vault with safety deposit boxes filled with real money. One winner leaves with a briefcase full of cash - the other three go home empty-handed.
But that's just the beginning. On the final night the winners from the five shows return with the money they've accumulated for a nail-biting finale. It's the ultimate showdown with a huge twist in which someone could walk out of the bank with the entire prize pot - a life-changing fortune.
In each round, as a clock ticks down, players answer questions to pick a safety deposit box and keep the cash inside. But they face a dilemma that requires real nerve. Stay in the vault to get more money and risk the time running out or bail out early and risk being left with the least - both of which lead to elimination.
The only way to become a contestant on The Bank Job is to play the online game which will launch before the show. Contestants playing the online game in the early episodes of the series could find themselves, just days later, competing in the show for real.

This sounds pretty good. Played the online game a fair few times the other day and it's quite addictive.
Was plugged for the first time at the end of The Million Pound Drop tonight, but God knows why they've chosen George Lamb as host :conf:
