deal or no deal????

Don't get me wrong, I'd be happy to make a fool of myself for £10,000 (that would sustain me here for 2 years!), but I'm not going to risk a broken neck for it.

http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/01/post_9.htmlHowever, this will have a major difference. Contestants will leave the show via a variety of brain-puzzling methods... think cannons, rockets, catapults and bungees, freezing water, glutinous mud, dread and humiliation.
Nice.
During each round the contestants face a single multiple choice question where all the answers... except one... are correct. That's the answer they are all trying to avoid; the problem is, it's not until they are moments away from a horrendous way of exiting the show, that one of the contestants discovers they have made the wrong choice.
Answer wrongly and your dignity gets hurled across the studio floor like a dirty nappy.
All the action takes place on the monolithic "tower", a purpose-built venue rising 100 feet in to the sky. The quiz part of the show happens in a high-tech studio, which can move up and down inside the tower.
But with one side of the studio constantly exposed to the elements, the contestants are only ever a few feet away from being flung from the tower by some strange device.
One moment they're in the relative calm of a sophisticated quiz show set; the next they're hanging upside down on a zipline in a high wind about to be fired off the tower and off the show for good.
Total Wipeout meets 3-2-1.

there is no appearance fee but there is a 10k prize for the winner, on top of that you get put up in a 4 star hotel in the centre of BA and are given noney for food and to buy some smart clothes for filming.
jazrgz said:Hi folks. I just looked at the links put by Alzinho and if indeed that is the game show coming (total wipe out) here then im almost certain it´s real. We had the exact same game show, with the exact same scenaries and whatnot ! (cant remember the name of the show though) so i guess if they already have all the set ready to go here (that would explain why they come to BA) all they need is the participants !
On a side note, my brothers and me and many other argies of my generation grew up watching Benny Hill ! if you ask me, the best comedy show ever !! I remember laughing my ass out from minute one till the last seconds of the show (you know, everyone (including half naked beautiful girls ) running in fast motion after benny with the funny theme ! hehehe)
