Synopsis
TV adaptation of a traditional pub bluffing game, derived from the Victorian parlour game Up Jenkins!, in which two teams of three face each other across a table and guess in which of the six hands opposite them an item, known as the tipit, is hidden. A clue to the potential appeal of this game may lie in the fact that it's being made by Presentable, the TV poker specialists. We just like saying Up Jenkins!.
A very similar game is also popular in Iraq. This couldn't be the world's first game show format to travel from Iraq to Wales, could it? Could it?
