Irish comedy duo the Rubberbandits bring their funny anti-gameshow back to ITV2. Think an underfunded Total Wipeout, seemingly filmed on a dilapidated regional airstrip. Having said that, 70s show It's a Knockout is an equally valid comparison, considering the likelihood of concussion as contestants are given 50 lives in which to complete a range of increasingly bizarre tasks including "eggy hammer" (smashing eggs with a spoon attached to a helmet) and "candle scream".
