Made by multi-award-winning TV production company Tern, production is now underway in Glasgow for this compelling new quiz format coming to 麻豆社 One and iPlayer.
Hosted by TV and Radio presenter Amanda Holden, a 麻豆社 favourite who is currently appearing in the hugely popular Alan & Amanda鈥檚 Spanish Job, this innovative and exciting new quiz show will have a cash prize on the line as contestants compete in a series of rounds designed to test their general knowledge and strategic thinking.
Across each episode, contestants will battle to win the cash prize and will be tested not just on what they know - but which of their fellow players they can trust. As the contestants make their way through a series of games and challenges they鈥檒l need to decide which of their opponents they鈥檇 be prepared to join forces with in order to take home the prize鈥ut in a gripping finale, could each of the final two face the ultimate betrayal?
25 Daytime/Early Peak episodes of The Inner Circle will see members of the public taking part in each edition with a further 6 celebrity specials for Saturday nights set to feature famous faces joining forces with a member of the public, bringing together star power and fresh energy to these prime time episodes.
This brand new commission is the result of the 麻豆社鈥檚 Entertainment and Daytime commissioning teams joining forces to identify and develop fresh and modern quiz and gameshow formats for 麻豆社 One and iPlayer for Saturday early evenings and Daytime/Early Peak. The Inner Circle will be produced in Scotland by Tern.
