Trivia
One of the contestants was Ken Cheng, who had previously co-hosted The Hangover Games.
Originally planned to air twice a week - up against Race Across the World on Wednesdays and Taskmaster on Thursdays. First week ratings were really low, with the premiere episode gaining 1.2 million viewers. A day later, the second episode didn't fare any better, scoring 800,000 viewers. Before the second week's shows aired, ITV had dropped the Thursday show and replaced it with repeated celebrity editions of Millionaire.
