101 Ways to Leave a Game Show

I dont know why, but I have become hooked on the Saturday night programme hosted by Wales' own, Steve Jones, 101 Ways to Leave a Game Show.

Nothing funnier than seeing 8 people determined to win £10,000 by answering questions and on each round, someone leaves the show by a hilarious means, invariably being thrown from a height, into a pool of water.

I believe its filmed in Argentina as presumably the H & S Taliban in th UK would find so many reasons why the show could not go ahead.

Steve Jones' humour and the way he adds on the agony, makes it good viewing for those of us at home, wanting to laugh at other people's predicament. Then you add in the look of relief when someone is saved from their impending fate. When a person does end up being ejected, we must then see their exit about 10 times, from all angles.

One thing though, I'm not prepared to do that....even for £10,000.

I get my license fee value in seeing them screaming and then falling into the water.

Hopefully, the BBC will commission a second series.
