Tipping Over

I feel this release, about a forthcoming BBC1 daytime quiz show, has had insufficient take-up.  Written by someone with the initials MJ  - I think this must be Mary Jones, of BBC TV Publicity - it's about The Edge, which brings together curling, bowling and shove ha'penny alongside general knowledge questions. Delivering Quality First, And Filler Second.

Each show will feature four contestants battling it out, knockout style, for the right to roll down the cash lanes. Round by round contestants answer questions at the podiums in an attempt to usurp their competitors in the tactical stakes of runway selection, before taking to the lanes to roll for cash. The nearer their ball gets to The Edge the more money the players will bank; go over The Edge and they could face elimination.

In the final round the remaining high-roller has one target remaining on the runway - The Edge, which is now worth their entire winnings. The more questions they answer correctly the larger The Edge grows. Can they roll a ball onto The Edge to take home all their money? Or will they choose to roll for half with two balls, or just a quarter with three balls. How brave are they feeling and will their greed push them over The Edge? 

Presenter Mark Benton says: “I’m thrilled to be hosting The Edge, it’s a battle of brains and balls! What could be more exciting?”
