Synopsis
Jungle Run, with enough format points changed to satisfy the lawyers. An ITV press release said:
- Brand new immersive game show Don't Unleash the Beast will take young viewers into a mythological world on a quest for ancient lost treasure on CITV this autumn.
- Set in the underground world of Halian, a team of three intrepid Treasure Seekers undergo a series of challenges to find the precious treasure. One tiny snag…it is guarded by a ferocious and foul Beast, meaning one wrong move and all its might will be unleashed.
- In each episode, one group of three brave souls must complete the tasks, fend off the Beast and find three precious ancient artefacts. Succeed and they are rewarded with a fabulous prize. Fail and they’ll become Beast fodder!
- Guided from afar by the Professor, played by comedian and magician Pete Firman, who is the leading expert in all things Halian, the team of three set about meeting a combination of physical, mental, skill-based team challenges on their treasure hunt.
- They must work together, support each other, keep cool under pressure, use team-strengths wisely and throw themselves into the tasks like nothing they’ve ever done before.
