Key moments

One contestant walked away with £2,360. Not surprisingly, they put a limit on the number of times you could win shortly after.

Inventor

Based on Jack Berry and Dan Enright's US format Tic Tac Dough.

Trivia

The final two contestants were Anthony Douglas from London and Rennie McGowan from Liverpool. On the very last programme, because the game was unfinished and there was obviously no way of continuing the game, both contestants were awarded £10 for each score they'd made on the board. And that was that.
