Advantages: Noel Edmunds, never know whether they might win the jackpot

Disadvantages: Rarely win big prize

I have to say this show has really grown on me since it first started. Noel Edmunds appears to have resurrected his career. I really think hes brilliant on this show, he appears to genuinely wnat his contestants to wind the big prize and I don't think they could have got anyone btter to host the show.

The show, televised on channel 4 on Mondays to Fridays challenges the contestant to outwit the bank. Basically, there are 22 boxes, all with a value of money written inside. The contestant is given a box, although they don't know what is in it. Then each round they have to pick 3 boxes to unveil, hoping to reveal the lower values.

The values differ from as low as 1p to £250,000. As the show progresses, there are less values left, the higher values left over, the more likely the banker will offer you a higher figure to buy your box. This is done via telephone between him and Noel Edmunds, i find this pretty funny, but at times lame. You always find yourself wanting the contestant to outwit the banker, but it rarely happens.

The show is better to watch if the contestant is more of a gambler, as with all shows like this, Who want's to be a millionaire for example. On average though, I'd say the contestant usually walks away with aa couple of grand at the very least. Great show, well done to Channel 4!

Summary: Great entertainment
