Channel 4’s Worst Game Show?

Remember Cheap Cheap Cheap? You probably don’t. But I did watch the first couple of shows going out at 3 pm, and this forgotten flop that replaced Deal Or No Deal in 2017 was jaw-droppingly abominable.

ITV’s 4-episode endeavour Shafted in 2001 is still the worst ever though, in my opinion. But this is in my top 10 worst game shows of all time.

Oh my, I remembered this especially in the first few weeks after the current Countdown studio set was introduced. I was like "How is this even broadcastable?" I sticked to !mpossible at that time...

Big mistake cancelling !mpossible. Loved that show and think they should revive it at the 4:30 pm slot.
