Synopsis
Well, you've probably got the idea of premium-rate phone in quizzes by now so there's no point in explaining that. Meanwhile, from a presentation point of view, Make Your Play at the start was seriously unbearable to watch - no entertainment value whatsoever. Even the short-lived Boss character (who used to phone the host and order them to increase the money) failed to add anything at all.
But somewhat strangely, the show has gradually become slightly more OK for such a show and the presenters have managed to loosen up a bit. We'll give it that (at the least).
Trivia
MYP was the first programme to tell viewers how many call entries had been recieved. This later became a rule amongst the few remaining phone-in quiz shows left on air when ICSTIS introduced new regulations for the industry.
Although we list her as a host, Emily Booth only ever presented one edition of the show
