There was a bit of a fuss about it when they started, that apparently TV execs were 'adopting Japanese-style game shows to raise the morale of the plebs during the recession'. Of course, people watched out of curiosity and both programmes are now a staple of Sat night TV.The Artful Cranerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02273611911314082692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-503203977655953303.post-74415153581687852172010-03-10T23:21:14.464-05:002010-03-10T23:21:14.464-05:00It's in America?

And so far, it's only been on for one season. Time will tell if they bring it back.Shadow Tiembihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695212287433895700noreply@blogger.com
