This was apparently the idea from the hosts themselves, and it is really good one. Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly host this this terrific game show that tests your knowledge, but also your ability to lie and con. It does not matter how many answers you get right, you can still be in with a chance of winning £50,000. The contestants have the choice of whether to fold and take their winnings, or not, or they could stay and continue, or win nothing. The only reason they may fold is if another contestant has conned/pokerfaced them. The last two contestants in the game have the chance to win the big cash, but there is no telling if they will fold. The final of six shows the winning contestants have to gamble their £50,000 for a guaranteed £1,000,00. If they don't fold and they are lowest in points, it would have all been for nothing. Ant and Dec were number 56 on The 100 Worst Britons (why?), and they were number 7 on TV's 50 Greatest Stars. Very good!

Ant and Dec do something different
studioAT15 January 2017
Ant and Dec are so linked with shows like 'Saturday Night Takeaway' and 'I'm a Celeb' that it's easy to forget that when given the opportunity they have fronted other shows. Like this one, a poker orientated game show, that sadly didn't seem to catch on.
Maybe people didn't like that it was very much like poker, maybe people just didn't like seeing Ant and Dec do something different, but there was only on series of this show sadly.
I think it's a shame, because this format did have a lot of potential, it maybe just needed a bit of tweaking to find its full appeal with viewers.
