QUIZ
Letterbox
In this brand new gameshow hosted by Mel Giedroyc, pairs of contestants will go head-to-head to crack a series of passwords, in an attempt to take home £2,500 in cash.
As the contestants solve the passwords, they win letters that will help them later in the game. These letters will better their chances of cracking the final password which unlocks the letterbox holding the cash prize. But, if they end up as the losing pair along the way, they’ll have to surrender all the letters that they’ve won to the winning pair – who will then go through to the semi-final eliminator round.
This simple yet addictive word game, created by David Young (producer of The Weakest Link and Eggheads) is packed with wordplay and fun and is designed to be played along at home with friends and family.
Can they solve the mystery word and crack open the letterbox?

The Sweet Makers will also explore the negative side of the introduction of sugar to the Tudor lifestyle, including the impact on teeth and how it fuelled our involvement in that most shameful of chapters in British history – the slave trade.
