Liza Tarbuck to front new C4 gameshow
Published Monday, Nov 11 2002, 18:34 GMT | By Neil Wilkes
Former Big Breakfast presenter Liza Tarbuck is back with Channel 4 to front a new gameshow.
Without Prejudice?, a 8 x 60-minute series beginning in the New Year, will give a panel of ordinary members of the public the chance to ‘play God’ by awarding one of five contestants the £50,000 prize.
Winning the jackpot comes with a catch, however: the contestants have to open up every detail of their lives for scrutiny by the panel -- be it sexual preferences, how much they earn, their life-long ambitions, or their opinions on the issues of the day.
"I am delighted to be presenting again," said Tarbuck, who also stars in the BBC comedy series Linda Green. "It was always a question of finding the right show to do and Without Prejudice? certainly fits the sock. I think it will cause much chattering."
The contestants will be eliminated by the panel one by one throughout the course of the show, which will air once a week in an as-yet undecided time slot.
Danielle Lux, head of entertainment at C4, said: "I am delighted to welcome Liza back to Channel 4. Her charm, intelligence and sharp wit make her the perfect host for this brand new venture."
