Alan Carr's Epic Gameshow

The comedian hosts an updated version of Strike It Lucky, featuring three pairs who must navigate a sea of screens, aiming to bank prizes while avoiding the hotspots that end the round, all under a bright studio set. Success depends on quick decisions and careful movement across the illuminated panels.

Strike It Lucky Series 3 is a television programme presented as an episode of the long‑running game‑show format. In this instalment the show has been refreshed, offering a contemporary twist on the original concept while retaining the familiar studio atmosphere that viewers recognise. The episode is fronted by a comedian who assumes the role of host, guiding participants through the newly devised challenges. This presenter brings a light‑hearted, quick‑witted style to the proceedings, keeping the pace lively as the contestants move from one segment to the next. Three pairs of contestants take part, each duo tasked with making their way across a sprawling “sea” of electronic screens. The layout is deliberately intricate, requiring the teams to coordinate their steps and decisions while staying aware of the visual cues presented on the panels. Their objective is twofold: to amass cash and other prizes by successfully banking winnings, and to avoid the designated hotspots that instantly end their turn. Success hinges on quick thinking and teamwork, as the pairs must balance the lure of higher rewards against the risk of triggering a hotspot and losing their progress.
