Mole, The Reviews

As a penniless student, I have no money for a TV license, therefore I watch no TV. However, when I heard that The Mole was returning for a second series I quickly rang my mum and begged her to record each episode for me and send it to my address as I have a TV but no license! This is because it is quite simply a wonderful programme. It is ...  Read the complete review

When this show first hit the screens, there wasn't that much hype concerning it, but then after the first few episodes, it started to get reviews from such establishments as the Daily Mail. Since then, it has received an adequate following and for me was extremely compelling and addictive to watch! I found that the narator/presenter ...  Read the complete review

Now that 'The Mole' finally finishes after it's highly successful run tommorow, I felt that i just had to give the big thumbs up to this programme. Hopefully the series will be shown again sometime for all of those who missed it first time around. For a long time now, Channel 5 has traditionally lost out badly to other T.V ...  Read the complete review

The tension continues in each episode! This weeks challenge involved sliding down a rope across the sea. The worst bit seemed to be standing on the ledge of the second world war tower ready to jump! Three contestants had to complete the challenge and then answer one question. Sounds easy? Not when the tho two girls admitted being afraid ...  Read the complete review

Yes! 'The Mole' is back and it's even better than the largely ignored original. The format is unchanged with ten contestants, five men and five women. The group covers a similar range of ages and ethnic backgrounds with perhaps slightly more personality than the last. At the time of writing only two eliminations have been carried out ...  Read the complete review

The Mole is now into it's 4th week, and the 3rd programme has just been shown on Channel 5. It has a timeslot of 8pm every Friday. The programme began with a group of people who are put through a series of tasks in order to win prize money for the team kitty, and because of the stress in these situations, we have seen people become ...  Read the complete review

The latest “game show” to hit our screens is “The Mole” on Channel 5 on Fridays at 8.00pm and is unlike anything that has gone before. It has an element of The Weakest Link about it whilst at the same time there is more than a hint of Fort Boyard in there as well, with a sprinkling of the Krypton Factor thrown in. ...  Read the complete review

Friday 8 PM. This is the new game show from Channel 5, which runs for 9 weeks. Adverts for the programme, launched last week, looked very interesting, but made me feel slightly wary. Another program jumping on the Big Brother bandwagon? Another pathetic idea like The Island? A total waste of time like Jailbreak? We ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

“The Mole” has been really getting a lot of advertising on Channel 5 so I thought I would give the first program a try. However, “Jailbreak” was fresh in my mind and it was a very poor program so I have to admit I was more than a little sceptical before I watched the show. The show originates from Belgium, as can be seen ...  Read the complete review

If I had to sum this programme up in 1 word, it would be cool with a capital C! But I have to elaborate, so here goes: This programme was originally a show in the Netherlands, but now it is over here, and it is great! Part Big Brother, part Challenge Anneka, part game show. The idea of the game/challenge is that ...  Read the complete review
