Spotless

Revision as of 10:34, 28 August 2016

Host

Redd Pepper (voiceover)

Broadcast

Possessed for ITV, 20 August 2016

Synopsis

Two couples are given tasks to complete. The object: don't get dirty.

Each task involves paint, which will fire out of cans, or be in balloons that burst, or be fired by the other side.

Third time lucky to catch this balloon.

After the challenge has been completed, a high-tech scanner measures how much paint was on the suit. This is converted to a "spotless percentage", how much of the suit was clean.

The challenges on the pilot were:

Flying Colours - throw those paint-filled balloons over a wall, to catch five. Score: average of the two players.
The Bodyguard - one player is tied to the spot, the other must intercept paint fired from cans in a sequence. Only the tied-down player counts.
Face Off - rock-paper-scissors to determine a winner, who is then able to fire a paint gun at the loser. Both players count.
The winners play The Gauntlet, four obstacles designed to get different parts of the suit messy. Their spotless percentage is converted into cash, at 1% clean = £100.

Players did most of the narration - either as in-game sound, or post-event narration. Redd Pepper's voice introduced the show and gave detail of each challenge.

An interesting idea, perhaps in need of more development.

Inventor

A Possessed format, devised by Simon Crossley

Trivia

Went out at 7.15 on the last Saturday before The X Factor.

-:''Spotless'' is a new summer special for ITV: the first physical game show where it isn’t how fast you complete the course, instead its all about keeping clean and pristine if you want to take home the cash.

-:Set against a backdrop of immaculate white rooms, two couples compete in fiendish wet paint covered games where their mission is to remain absolutely spotless.
-:Cutting edge movie cameras follow the action using high-tech super-slow motion, meaning viewers will be able to see every drop of the dreaded paint in vivid detail. Can the players keep it clean? Or will the flying neon paint cover them in shame and dash their dreams of cash.
-:After every game the iconic Spotless Scanner determines exactly how "spotless" the players really are by using never-before-seen 3D scanning technology that can detect a dot of paint less than 1 millimetre in circumference. High-tech meets high drama as the scanner will reveal the winners, and literally dish the dirt.
