In the Grid
In the Grid is a British game show that aired on Five from 30 October 2006 to 2 February 2007, hosted by Les Dennis.
Hidden somewhere in this grid, a thousand pounds in cold hard cash, but if you won't give enough without a fight. To win big tonight, one of our contestants must hold their nerves and avoid the traps and find the money that waits In the Grid.
— Les Dennis' opening monologue of the show
The reigning champion gets to pick from a 3x3 board (from A1 to C3), each square hiding a name. The selected square reveals the name of the champion's new opponent. If there is no reigning champion (only the case where the previous champion has won five games and has to "retire"), the selection is made randomly by the Grid. The first person selected is treated as the "reigning champion", and the second person selected is treated as the "new contestant" for the purposes of game play: this is elaborated on later in this section.
The main game board has sixteen squares in a 4x4 layout (from A1 to D4). Behind each square is a different colour, and neither player (nor the host or audience) knows the location of which colours are where.
The colours are:
The number of times that each colour occurs in the Grid varies between episodes. Typically, it will contain 4-7 Cash squares, 1-4 Bonus squares, 2-4 Steal squares, 4-6 Penalty squares and there is always 1 Bankrupt square, without exception.
Both players begin the game with £1,000 and two "reveals". If played, a reveal will allow a player to see the colour of a square, but not its value. The player is not obliged to play a square if they reveal it, however their opponent may choose to use the square for themselves if they believe it contains something good.
