No its not poker. But its a question and answer gameshow that involves lots of bluffing I believe...

Apparently they came up with the idea of the game whilst down the pub one night!

Saw the final of this tonight. To be fair i hadn't seen the rest of the series, but I just didn't get this show. I normally like Ant n Dec, but just found the format to be poor.
It came down to the last two and both were around £75,000, one was a bit higher. If one of them folds the other wins a million, if neither folds then the one with the lowest score loses £75k.
Who in their right mind would fold knowing that they could be turning down a million? That is basically what happened, neither folded and the one with the most questions right was the winner. So well done the winner here is a million and the runner gets nothing, ha ha. It is just rubbish telly and hope Ant n Dec find a better format.

Perhaps they should stick to presenting or go back to Byker Grove.  |

Ah not so good. Is she gutted? I would be, but then I think if I knew I'd had a bad round, I'd have folded.
The idiot that didn't fold tonight and lost £75k can't have thought he was in the lead, he'd had a few bad rounds.

Nobody folding for the million was a bit obvious - which just made it funny when we knew he was going to lose all his money.
But I think the girl who won it wasn't ahead in her heat, so she only got to the final because somebody folded when they were winning. I think if it was an ongoing series where the amounts were more like in the heats, risking 20 or 30 thousand for the chance to win 50k it would work well with a mixture of people losing from not folding and folding when they were winning, so all in all I think the format could be a good one.
