Synopsis

A funny weekly strand which featured on Going Live's final series, It's a Shame! saw a celebrity contestant being quizzed and playing games for low budget prizes which thanks to tough questions (such as, "What number am I thinking of?") and fixed wheels they could never win anyway. And all in the name of "quality entertainment!"

The very final episode had Simon as the celebrity contestant, and the reason the show had no expense lavished upon it whatsoever was because they had saved the entire budget up for the final show, where they won briefcases full of money.
