Ross Kemp’s new game show The Bridge of Lies kicks off today as the EastEnders legend takes on a fresh challenge.
The 57-year-old actor is better known to TV fans as Grant Mitchell on the BBC soap and documentary-maker extraordinaire, but that’s about to change with his latest project.
At its most basic, the show will see people trying to cross a bridge made of stepping stones laid out across the studio floor as the contestants compete with each other for a cash prize.
As quoted by WhatToWatch, he said: ‘This is something a little different for me, and after a challenging year, we’re all crying out for a fun new show to kick back and enjoy. I’ll be having a giggle with all the contestants to help them win some cash.’
It certainly promises to be something unique for fans of game shows and Ross himself alike, with a fascinating premise and plenty of scope for some jeopardy.
The series is set to kick off imminently, so here’s everything you need to know…
When is The Bridge of Lies on?
The Bridge of Lies – with Ross Kemp at the helm – kicks off on Monday, March 14 at 4.30pm on BBC One.
It’s going to be broadcast five days a week – Monday to Friday – and the episodes will also be available to stream on iPlayer.
How does The Bridge of Lies work?
The contestants will be crossing a bridge made of stepping stones on the studio floor as they look to earn cash along the way.
After answering Ross’ questions, they’ll look to cross the floor safely by stepping on ‘truths’ and avoiding the ‘lies’.
It’s more physical than you’re average game show, and the further along you got, the harder things will be as the teams compete against each other.
‘When you’re halfway across, you’ve still got a long way to go, so don’t get too impressed with yourself. The Bridge can be kind, but it’s a formidable beast,’ Ross said.
‘The game relies on knowledge, strategy, and a little bit of luck. It’s loads of fun, but there’s also a lot of jeopardy involved.’
It’s all very logical too, as each spot contains an answer – if the category is Disney films, one could say Aladin, and the other Shrek.
Get it right, and you’ll get to carry on, but if you choose wrongly, your total prize will drop.
Sounds simple? We’re sure the contestants will have plenty of trouble – and give us plenty of drama, laughs and anguish – when the show hits the air.
