ITV Greenlights Bumper Third Season of ‘The 1% Club’

ITV has greenlit a third season of The 1% Club and doubled episode length. The network has put in a 16-episode order of the show, which has rated well on Saturday nights. Hosted by Lee Mack, the show sees 100 contestants begin each episode – but to make it to the end and win the top prize of up to £100,000 ($125,000), contestants must correctly answer a question only 1% of the country would get right. It has also sold to France, Germany, Spain, The Netherlands, Israel and Australia. “Establishing a new game show and finding an audience is no easy task in such a competitive field, but the combination of The 1% Club’s unique, inclusive format and our host Lee’s brilliantly spontaneous interaction with the studio audience has proved a big hit with viewers,” said ITV commissioner Satmohan Panesar.
