8 November 2012, 10:35

On November 10, 2012 Ukrainian version of the British game show format Red or Black premiered on the leading Ukrainian TV channel Inter.

Red or Black is the most spectacular and expensive show of the fall: British channel ITV has spent £ 15 million on this show, making it the most expensive format game show in television history. Creator and producer of this show is the world-famous Simon Cowell, the creator of X-Factor. Last year the show was a success in the UK, and this year is expected to premiere in several other countries. Red or Black is not a talent show; it is a large-scale lottery where anyone can win one million hryvnia. Each program involves 1000 contestants but only one in a thousand will have the opportunity to try his or her luck and win one million hryvnia. Ukrainian version of the British format will be even brighter than the original. The show will contain performances from the famous sport champions and record-setters, including motorcycle stunts sport champions, well-known Ukrainian football players and rhythmic gymnastics titleholders. Specially for this show Mr. Splash is preparing to set Guinness world record by jumping from a height of 11 m and 35 cm to the pool, where there will be only 30 cm of water.

It is noteworthy that the world premiere of the format Red or Black took place at the conference - screening Format Show in 2011 in the course of the international media forum KYIV MEDIA WEEK.
