"ITV has reached a deal to bring back Simon Cowell's big-budget quizshow Red or Black? as a weekly pre-recorded programme with a jackpot that starts at £500,000 instead of £1m an episode." "Short-term loan company Wonga.com has struck a deal understood to be worth £1m to sponsor the second series of Simon Cowell's ITV1 gameshow Red or Black?." http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012...ck?INTCMP=SRCH http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012...1-red-or-black Well Times are Hard so its 500K or nothing King Simon confirms The ITV ads have started. Feel The Force.

Its boring.

[arista]

Maybe
but some watched it and
it moved fast to a Win or no win.

And 500K
is worth a go at it
in these Hard Times

It's a rolling jackpot this time, so basically if no one wins the £500K on the first show, the second show's jackpot will be £1m. By the end of the seven episode series if no one has won the jackpot could reach a total of £3.5m which I think is the highest jackpot ever offered on a gameshow before. It's a decent change but it should've stayed live, these things don't work pre-recorded.

And from the looks of the previews I've seen, it's a lot more skill orientated this time. I think they've changed the end game so there's no wheel (which was actually the best bit so that's sh*t).

Sounds like they're completely revamping this series for the worse, actually liked the first one last year as well

why arent they showing the massive crowds they do, to get all the contestants?

Give it a chance


Times are Hard

[Munchkins]

Mhm i will watch it next week

[Doogle]

I watched it. It was absolutely terrible and so boring. I love these types of shows usually.

[Jordan.]

The best thing about it was seeing the massive crowds get cut down to just a few. Now they only start with about 8 it's

Part 2 on now

The improvements they've made are for the better, it's a lot more skill-orientated this time and there's no forcing contestants into choosing a certain colour by virtue of having come last in a 'random' draw, they can pick their colour whenever they want (so long as it hasn't been taken if they're too slow) which I think is a lot fairer. I do kinda miss the arena bits though.

Everything's improved but it'd work much better if it were still live, there's a better atmosphere. Oh...and £1m was better. And the roulette wheel.

On at 7:25PM

[Jambotommy]

Shocking show IMO ...

[Joelle.]

God this was shockingly dull, and it is a fatal flaw that only half of the contestants are allowed to pick a colour and the rest get whats left by default.
