Double the Money press pack

Sue Perkins hosts this brand new competition format, where 13 pairs of people from all over the UK are challenged to “Double The Money”.

In each episode the teams assemble in “The Vault” – a gilded banking hall where they are given an initial starting sum of money and a time limit. They must then race against the clock to double that sum of money in the allotted time. Make it back to the Vault with double the amount and they stay in. Come back with even £1 less and they are eliminated.

Double the Money starts Thursday 9 May 8pm on Channel 4.
