The BBC is working on ‘Danger Balls’ (Mighty Productions), a new game show in which, unlike the lottery, contestants hope their balls stay in the bag. The show comes from the team behind ‘The Weakest Link’ and ‘Tipping Point’. The game show where only the last ball left in play at the end wins the big cash prize. Every show features three teams of two who’ve each been allocated five numbered balls. As the balls are picked from the bag at random the teams must answer questions to eliminate an opponent’s ball or save their own. The show also has compelling moments of strategy. Will the players cash in their balls when given the chance or hold out and hope for the big money, even though it could mean leaving with nothing?
