Overview
- ITV’s new spin-off debuted on January 6 with six rotating contestants, a 15‑second limit per question, one pass each, and instant elimination on wrong answers that also lower the top prize.
- Viewers on X criticized the show’s rushed pace and contestant chatter, calling the format frustrating and low on tension.
- Responding on X, Jeremy Clarkson said he warns contestants before each recording to keep answers tight: “I do. Before the show every time.”
- A recent episode illustrated the format’s falling-jackpot mechanism when a wrong answer reduced the maximum prize available without revealing outcomes.
- The series runs for eight 30‑minute episodes, with reports of several £100,000 wins during filming, and Clarkson says he agreed to host after watching the Australian version.
