Synopsis
Basically a bit of a gimmick: Rick Edwards plays a ten-frame ten-pin bowling match against a popstar or group, with the frames alternating with pop videos selected by the guest and introduced by the resident DJ.
A few twists are included: one frame is "spin the pin" in which a spinner is used to select a way in which the ball is to be bowled (backwards, wearing big padded gloves, blindfold or cued snooker-style) and there is a side-game called "Japoke" in which the guest is asked to identify a song performed in Japanese.
Although it just about qualifies as a game show, the inclusion of pop videos gives it too much of a stop-start feel to really work satisfactorily, and we're not sure the game element will actually be particularly interesting even to ten-pin fanatics, but it's amusing if unspectacular filler.
