Channel 4.0 launches its first big money gameshow this month with an all-new series £20k Play hosted by Harry Pinero. Each episode of the five-part series sees five friends split up to win up to £20,000 for their group. All they have to do is secretly answer eight brutal, awkward and outrageous questions about the group: From “Who is the most two-faced?” to “Who is the biggest disappointment to their parents?”. But with no way to check their answers with each other, each player can only rely on their intuition to choose their responses… and if they’re wrong, they’ll cost the group prize money.

One final sting in the tail will see the friends decide how much of the prize pot they each want to split: if their total is more than the actual prize fund, they’ll go home with nothing.

£20k Play host Harry Pinero said: "This show is a hilarious rollercoaster of friendship, honesty, and wild revelations. I can't wait for viewers to see just how far contestants will go for a shot at £20,000 – and how much they really know about their so-called friends!"

The five-part series £20K Play is produced by Wall of Entertainment and directed by Chris Goodson, with Yovan Chamroo serving as assistant producer and Craig Capeone as head of productions. Tafara Makopa is the executive producer. The series is commissioned for Channel 4.0 by Digital Commissioning Executive Kaio Grizzelle.

Channel 4’s Kaio Grizzelle, Digital Commissioning Executive, comments: "We're thrilled to have £20k Play as the latest daring format on the channel. It has Channel 4.0’s unique flavour of mayhem mixed up with all the high stakes, humour and human drama of the gameshow greats."

Tafara Makopa, executive producer and MD of Wall of Entertainment adds: "Get ready for a wild ride where friendships are tested and secrets are spilt! This game is not just about winning £20,000; it's about the hilarious and sometimes brutal truths that come out when friends face off!"

£20k Play premieres Tuesday 22 October with new episodes released weekly on Channel 4.0, Channel 4’s destination for the freshest new videos from the UK's biggest creators on YouTube.
