Possessed’s brand new daytime game show starts next Monday, 19th October, at 3pm. Pick Me sees an entire audience of colourful characters compete for the attention of host Stephen Mulhern. If he picks them to play they could take home cash, or a brilliant prize, but only if they come out on top in a dramatic, often hilarious game of knowledge, judgement and bluff.
If you need some fancy dress fun to brighten up your weekday afternoons, pick ITV at 3pm on Monday and join Stephen for Pick Me!
Possessed, the ITV Studios entertainment production label set up by Glenn Hugill, has secured its first commission and made a number of appointments to its senior management team.
Possessed has been commissioned by ITV Daytime to make Stephen Mulhern-fronted game show Pick Me, which will launch its five-week run in October. Central to Pick Me is getting picked and Stephen can choose whomever he wants from the entire studio audience to play, so they have to catch his eye! In the game, a contestant plays to win a prize against a panel of three players who are each trying to win £1000. The prize is hidden in one of the panel’s podiums, so the contestant simply has to find it by asking each a question. If they have the prize, the correct answer will show on their screen, but if not, it stays blank and the panellist will have to make up a convincing answer on the spot. The contestant must then guess which one has the prize – but whichever panellist they pick will win the cash, whether they have the prize or not, so all of the panel must convince the player to pick me!
Glenn Hugill, Managing Director of Possessed, said: “Pick Me genuinely makes real people the stars and features lots of ‘can you believe they said that?’ moments for both the studio audience and the viewers at home as our players attempt to bluff each other absolutely on the spot. It’s an unpredictable, laugh-out-loud, feel-good family entertainment in the grand tradition of the classic game shows of the 1980s and it’s a real pleasure to watch Stephen having such fun at the helm. It’s a party with an open door!”
Pick Me is executive produced by Glenn Hugill and series produced by Luke Shiach with Kate Stannard as the Senior Producer for Possessed. It was commissioned by Helen Warner, ITV’s Director of Daytime. The format will be distributed internationally by ITV Studios Global Entertainment, who will launch it at MIPCOM.
