Plank of the Week

Mike Graham hosts the ultimate panel show, where each guest nominates a “Plank of the Week” for the competition. No participant is safe, as the nominees are constantly challenged by the others throughout the episode. The constant nominations mean the competition never pauses.

The series is a generic television programme presented as an episode, with Mike Graham taking on the role of host. It falls under the panel‑show genre, positioning itself as a straightforward, self‑contained installment that follows the same format each time it airs. At its heart, the show pits a group of guests against one another in what Graham describes as the “ultimate panel show.” The central mechanic involves each participant nominating their own “Plank of the Week,” a selection that drives the episode’s action and keeps the atmosphere lively. The premise makes it clear that no one is exempt from the competition, as every guest is subject to the same scrutiny and potential criticism. The format gives each guest an equal opportunity to put forward their plank, creating a rotating spotlight that ensures the focus shifts constantly throughout the episode. Graham’s role is to guide the discussion, introduce the nominations, and keep the pace brisk, while the guests respond to one another’s choices. Because the stakes are evenly distributed, the programme maintains a sense of unpredictability; the title’s claim that “nobody is safe” is reflected in the way each nomination can alter the dynamics of the panel. This structure keeps the episode engaging from start to finish, with the weekly plank serving as the focal point for all ensuing banter.
