Newest Review: ... this time is that once they are eliminated they have to wear the famous 'Whittle mask' on their face, which is the ultimate humiliation. Once 1 person is remaining (this can be based on a fastest finger first after all questions are asked), they win the 250-00. They can boost that to 500-00 if they win the final round of putting 4 choices in the right order. If they get it wrong, ... more

... everyone in the audience gets to vote on the same question and the people with the correct answers get to share the 250-00 put between themselves. All in all this is a great idea for a game show and I would love to see a new series. It is quite li...more

There are no doubt several people who've never heard of this one, and it doesn't suprise me. Whittle was one of the first shows on Channel 5 when it was launched back in 97, however it has probably gained more popularity now second time round, as its being repeated on Sky on Challenge TV. For those of you who have never seen it I would wholeheartedly recommend that you try and tune in and give it a crack. It is a very basic and simple yet clever idea for a game show. The prizes and set aren't the most upmarket but this all adds to the ombience of the show. It is presented by Tim Vine, who is also a very funny stand up comedien. He helps make the show ...

I had only gone along to keep my brother in law company and certainly never expected (or wanted) to get whittled down to the last ten. After the adverts though, there I was, one of the lucky ten who got to make idiots of themselves in front of millions (well thousands) of people on national television. Judging by my deadpan expression, I was obviously in shock which was further proved by the fact that I could only speak in monosyllables!! When the first question came up, the screen was so far across the studio I couldn't ... Read the complete review

I have been watching a gameshow called 'Whittle' on Challenge TV, weeknights at 9pm. I came across it by accident as it followed on from The Crystal Maze which my son loves to watch. It was a show that was first shown on Channel 5 a few years ago. I never saw it before and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoy it and believe it has potential should they decide to revive it. It has similarities to Who Wants To Be a Millionaire but it involves the whole audience. There are 100 players in the audience and they each have a keypad, numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4. A multiple choice question is asked and the 100 players select their choice. ... Read the complete review
