"The Whole 19 Yards"

[General Jonnie]

ok,so ITV have comissioned a UK version of an American pilot called The Whole 19 Yards-made by Endemol,who are the same people who made Wipeout.

I've read stuff about it and apparently it involves quick fire quizzes and obstacle courses.

I also read from here blog.tvguide.co.uk/?tag=the-whole-19-yards the games include a slippery slide, contestants wearing a parachute trying to reach a buzzer while fans blow them in the opposite direction and contestants in Velcro suits trying to complete an obstacle course where the walls are also Velcro

Sounds very Wipeout,or keshi.If anyone knows more about this show then do speak up.It does sound fun...but then again it could be a flop like Ant and Dec's Push The Button

It's a British gameshow, so in my mind it will almost certainly be a flop sadly.

Well,I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was a flop .Mind you I said that about UK Hole In The Wall but that turned out very well,although in some peoples eyes it was a flop.

Ah well,we can't fault it untill we see it...

Not bad at all.It wasn't exactly keshi or Wipeout,but I think it will get better as the week's go on.Saw something that looked liked On Yer Bike in next week's preview
