 Former American Idol judge Simon Cowell has announced plans for a British television series entitled Red and Black which will allow contestants to play roulette for a shot at a £1 million prize. Cowell told the press that Red and Black will be the "biggest, noisiest and most expensive show in UK history." It will be hosted by popular British duo Ant and Dec and it will feature a similar format to the Price is Right in that a giant crowd of fans will be welcomed into the studio and contestants will be randomly selected from the crowd.
The Daily Star reports, "Simon is very excited about this program. It will be easily the biggest show ever seen on British television. He has been working on the concept for some time and at last everything has fallen into place and the show is good to go. It is massive in the number of contests and also the huge prize on offer on the spin of a roulette wheel - a £1m fortune resting on whether someone chooses either red or black. We've never seen anything like Red And Black in the UK before. It is going to be big, noisy and expensive, a real telly event. It is not only a massive gamble for the contestant, but also for Simon and ITV, but they are confident it will be a big hit."
The show will air live on ITV1 this September. To get players hooked on the show they plan to air an episode of the show every evening for the first week that it goes on air and then cut it down to one episode a week.
