Cash Trapped's Bradley Walsh (ITV)

More like Trash-trapped!!! Know it's only just aired but AGHHHH!!
Welcome to Non-entity Squares! The poor relation of The Chase. Regular viewers (including myself) who are now left waiting for new episodes until September. Six folks attempt to out do each other in order to be king/queen pin of the dosh through General Knowledge mallarkey. One lad. Giles stuck out, but only coz of his shirt. Was thinking it was a Tom Selleck reject. Then he went and spoiled it all by saying something stupid. Like. He used to be a copper!
Having grown up in the 70's I consider myself somewhat of a veteran of game shows. And I SO wanted to like it coz Bradley Walsh is at the helm. But. Hey. It's average, easy enough fare I suppose. I personally shan't be waiting at the stop again tomorrow.

Dire comes to mind! Bradley Walsh normally has the midis touch on everything he does, so this shows how badly thought out this programme is!
Too long winded says Kath Heraty
By Kath Heraty
Unfortunately this new show does not hit the mark for me at all. I have watched it from the beginning of the week ( now on the 4th day) and the more I see it the more bored I am becoming. It is too long winded.
The audience at home are unable to play along as the camera doesn't stay on the possible answers long enough for you to see what the options are which is very frustrating.
The format of the show doesn't allow Bradley to show his humorous side although he is an excellent presenter.
Please bring back The Chase, I don't think this new show is working.
Hi Kath

I have never seen so much rubbish as this game show. I thought Bradly Walsh was a clever man , but to put this rubbish on TV at tea time , I just don't know what ITV are thinking about.
The Chase is the best show on TV and now you have taken it off, we will not be watching it again , I think you should pay us to watch this rubbish. Get your act together ITV and give us the Chase back .

I have to disagree with everyone on this. Although it is a little complicated on first viewing, once you get the hang of the game it's much more satisfying than The Chase. The players in Cash Trapped need to employ strategy and timing. Just knowing the answer is not enough.
If you stick your head too high above the parapet you will be targeted.
If, as in the first week, the game rolls over, we get to know the players and their ability. All round I think it's good fun and I hope ITV commission a second series.
Stick with it!
