PASSWORD: NEW GAMESHOW ITV HOSTED BY STEPHEN MANGAN TO AIR LATER THIS YEAR
IF YOU MISSED IT - Hit US guessing game show, Password is to make its debut in the UK with a brand-new series for ITV and ITVX.
Produced by Talkback (a Fremantle label), Password stars one of the UK’s biggest comics Alan Carr and award-winning actor and writer Daisy May Cooper as resident Team Captains, with the multi-talented Stephen Mangan running the show as host.
Password is a hilarious word association game where Alan and Daisy each pair up with contestants and give one-word clues to help their teammate guess a mystery “password”. The teams must try and get on each other’s wavelengths, as they take it in turns to guess the all-important password across multiple rounds.
There will be hilarious clues, guesses and lots more laughs as Daisy and Alan try & help our plucky contestants win a cash prize in our Jackpot final.
Stephen Mangan says: “Password is a fantastic game show so it’s an absolute pleasure to be the host. Although how I’m going to keep Daisy and Alan in line I don’t know!”
Alan Carr says: “I can’t wait to wipe the floor with Daisy, she’ll be heading back to the West Country with her tail between her legs. If only her brain was as big as her mouth”.
Daisy May Cooper adds: “I’m looking forward to knocking the glasses off Alan with my exceptional talent for this game. I know that…given both our training (Me – drama school, Alan – Tesco) that between us (meaning mostly me) we will be able to win people lots of cash (just to reiterate when I say ‘we’ I mean ‘me’)”.
Jonno Richards, Managing Director, Talkback, a Fremantle label, says: “We’re so excited to be launching Password in the UK with the fantastic Alan, Daisy and Stephen. These three stars combined with some brilliant contestants & a cracking game promises to be a real treat for the ITV viewer.”
Katie Rawcliffe, Head of Entertainment Commissioning at ITV, says: “Password is a brilliantly fun format greatly complemented by a fabulous on-screen trio in Alan, Daisy and Stephen. 2023 has been a great year for game shows on ITV, and there are plenty more to come in 2024.”
Password was created by Bob Stewart for Goodson-Todman Productions, and the format is now owned by global entertainment leader, Fremantle.
Password will be 7 x 45 minutes and is Executive Produced for Talkback by Jonno Richards and Laura Gibson with Juliet Morrish as the Series Producer. The series was commissioned by Joe Mace, Commissioning Editor at ITV & Katie Rawcliffe, Head of Entertainment Commissioning at ITV.
