You Bet!

Synopsis

Well made and sometimes stunning stunt show.

Members of the public bet they can do a particularly whacky, impressive or just plain dangerous feat. 100 members of the audience bet on whether they think they can do it, as do a panel of celebrities. The celebs try to guess the correct outcome, thus earning points, which are later turned into pounds for charity, mate.

The challenges on the show can be categorized into stunts (doing a wheelie in a truck for 1 mile), memory tests (identifying a Madonna song from 5 seconds of the backing track), and skill games (scoring 50 basketball hoops while riding on a motorcycle). The reward for a successful challenge was awarded a trophy (called the "Betsy" in early series). The outside challenges were filmed during the summer months and slotted in, everyone involved in the filming having sworn on their grandmother's grave that they wouldn't say the result.
