DOUBLE THE MONEY SHELVED BY CHANNEL 4 AFTER ONE SERIES

 EXCLUSIVE

The real world gameshow which challenges the great British public to Double The Money won't be returning to Channel 4 for a second series, TV Zone understands.

Hosted by Sue Perkins, the revolutionary game show saw pairs of contestants come together on day one to receive a modest starting pot of seed money. As soon as they receive the cash the clock starts ticking and their mission is clear: double the money within the next exhilarating few hours or face elimination from the game.

With complete freedom on how to spend their starting pot, contestants must devise smart strategies, bold hustles and ingenious ideas to turn their initial sum into a substantial fortune.

However, contestants shouldn’t get too comfortable if one idea works because they will be eliminated if they attempt to use the same idea twice. As the competition progresses, each round increases the cash target that teams must achieve and extends the time they have to do it.

The stakes are high, and the pressure is on as the clock counts down with each passing round. By the final round, weeks later, the remaining duo that makes the most money in the given time will win a large cash prize to add to their final pot.

Double The Money is available to stream now on Channel 4.
