Synopsis
Brian Connelly, the bloke with the instantly difficult to spell surname, hosts the show where The Balls Decide.
A very simple show, there are basically two games in each episode where the National Lottery balls will decides the outcome of a dispute or the difficulty of a game. Games included:
Odd or Even - Two people have a dispute ot settle, such as one person wants green curtains and another turquoise. The Bonus Ball being odd or even determines the colour of their front room.
Second Chance - The player had lost something in life. The show gives them a chance to win it back with interest by playing a game, the difficulty of which will depend on which balls come out during the National Lottery draw.
The Magnificent Seven - Seven people with 'talent' are given the chance to shine provided the Bonus Ball bounces their way. Each act is given seven numbers from 1-49m and whichever one corresponds with the Bonus ball is given their 15 minutes (well, two) of fame.
Brian hosts it well because he seems naturally in the centre of attention and is usually quite funny with it. However, he does tend to sing quite a lot.
The best way to decide if a Lottery show is any good is if it would stand on its own merits without the lottery draw with it. Sadly, this one wouldn't. That said, it was the best attempt so far, something borne out by its decent ratings.
Catchphrases
