Advantages: Gripping and interesting viewing

Disadvantages: Many people can't get Channel 5

If you can get Channel 5, this is a great show to watch. It is a Belgian format based on the shows listed in my title.

There are 10 strangers as contestants, nine genuine, one a fraud (the ‘mole’) out to sabotage the other’s chances of winning any money.
The money, unto £200,000, is won on the completion of various tasks which the ‘mole’ can try and scupper hence winning the group no money.
At the end of each episode, all of the contestants have to answer a series of 20 questions regarding the identity of the ‘mole’. The person furthest from the mark is taken off the team. The remaining genuine person wins the money.

It is a fun piece of television. The presenter (I think) is the bloke who played Alan McKenna in Corrie. It is based in and around Jersey. The tasks range from the physical, mental and team-work.
The ‘mole’ is also concealed from the viewer so you are left to guess, making a lot more compelling viewing.

In the hour long show, there was only 7.5 minutes of commercials which isn’t too bad.
Even if you have missed a few shows, it should be easy to pick up and understand and great fun to watch.
