1 vs 100
Imagine 100 opponents in front of you;
100 people wanting to defeat you; 100
people wanting to see you leave with no
money whatsoever...
1 vs 100, a new National Lottery format, pits
one player against 100 opponents. The
player's goal is to eliminate all the opposition
by correctly answering questions, hoping that
their opponents will answer incorrectly and be
eliminated from the game.
The battle continues until the very last
opponent is defeated. Only then can the player
walk away with the money they've earned.
Along the way, the player has opportunities to
'buy' the right answer – but if they do, their
cash will plummet. If the player gives a wrong
answer at any time, it's game over and they
leave with nothing.
Can they cling on to the hot seat and defeat
every opponent? If so, it could mean
serious money...

National Lottery Day
National Lottery Day is a celebration of the good
causes that the National Lottery has supported

Wrapped up in an exciting entertainment format,
contestants will compete for big prizes, while the

causes with the National Lottery Awards –
revealing the winners live on air.
Since it began in 1994, the National Lottery has

Aided and abetted each week by A-list celebrity guests and the best

Blanchett, Christina Ricci, Alice Cooper and Sir Ian McKellen talking
about subjects as diverse as WAGs, the Royal Family, George Bush,

television as you've never seen it before.

night of transmission.

Strictly Come Dancing
Strictly Come Dancing is set to waltz back onto
our screens with a fourth series of the hugely
successful Saturday night entertainment show.
The legendary Bruce Forsyth returns with his
glamorous co-host Tess Daly to see who has got
what it takes to be crowned 2006 Strictly Come
Dancing champions.
From the jive to the salsa, 14 couples –
celebrities and leading professional dancers
– learn a variety of dance styles before
battling it out in a knock-out competition.
The four judges – Len Goodman, Arlene
Phillips, Craig Revel Horwood and Bruno
Tonlioli – return to scrutinise the
performances and decide whose toes
twinkle and who's got two left feet.
But it
could all change as the public vote for
their favourite.
