About This Program ✦
The show is a one‑off celebrity version of a well‑known game show, with the usual format altered to feature high‑profile participants. A comedian takes on the presenting duties, steering the episode and adding his trademark humour to the proceedings. This special edition is positioned as a charitable event, distinguishing it from the regular series by focusing on fundraising rather than pure competition, and audience engagement, making it memorable throughout the broadcast. The contestant line‑up consists of three well‑known British personalities: actor Danny Dyer, broadcaster Zoe Ball and comedian‑author David Walliams. Each of them steps onto the stage to take part in the challenges set by the game’s rules. Their presence brings a mix of acting, presenting and comedic talent to the competition, creating a varied dynamic as they each strive to outplay the others in a friendly rivalry for the final prize. The ultimate aim for each celebrity is to secure a cash award that will be donated to a charitable cause of their own choosing. By competing, they hope to generate funds that can support the organisations they back. The prize money, therefore, is not for personal gain but is earmarked specifically for the selected charities, turning the game into a fundraising endeavour as well as a contest for viewers to watch.
