barry_hiltonSABC2's announced that they're launching a new gameshow called The Generation Game - a local version of the long-running UK gameshow of the same name.

The show's going to be hosted by comedian Barry Hilton and actress/presenter Cindy Nkabinde, it premieres on Thursday, 27 March 2008 and the search is on for contestants.

HOW THE SHOW WORKS

Each episode involves four teams of two playing a series of games against each other.

Each team's made up of a couple from the same family of the opposite sex who are at least a generation apart eg. mothers and sons, grandfathers and granddaughters etc

The competition involves each team trying to master a skill. A professional demontsrates how something's done eg using a potters wheel, dressing a shop wndow dummy, dancing etc.

The players then need to do to the task as well as possible and get judged by the professional who gives each team a score - eliminating teams along the way in a knockout.

By the time it gets to the end the team with the highest score gets to play the Conveyer Belt Game that has all sorts of prizes up for grabs, including a mystery holiday.

HOW TO ENTER

If you'd like to enter with your family you can call this number to leave your details for the show: 083 913 3436.

Please note: the youngest contestant needs to be 20 or older and the difference in age between team-mates needs to be at least 15 years.

-----

PS: SABC1's The Gen Game is based on the same concept but with differences to the original - SABC2's new version's going to follow the exact format of the UK one.

I share ur sentiments Mabhebheza, when is SABC and just SA TV in general going to be confident ENOUGH in our original South African programmes, and plus too SA is the one country that has the best case of versility and dieversity so this would be the best oppotunity for us in terms of creating good SA originated shows!!!!
