In a successful re-make of a 1980's American game show; presenter Adil Ray successfully treads the line between admonition and commiseration of contestants as they try to guess the words in a hangman-style endeavour.
With rounds containing either 4 or 5 letter words the producers take a fair approach to what's on offer - with some days producing a lot of double letter words, while others have 3 or more vowels in the mix (curse you ooze!) and you will often find yourself shouting at the TV because you believe the answer to be blindingly obvious (a point that Adil does not fail to point out in a kind manner).
In between these rounds are 9 or 10 letter offerings, with a single clue (that sometimes does not seem ideal for the answer) and a devaluation of cash offered as letters are filled in over the 10 seconds.
Overall this show provides a quality hour of entertainment with a strong cash prize that will keep the attention of both young and old alike.
