The Fortune Hotel; Promethea

“I think this game show, now in its second series, works, partly because it has a likeable, amiable host in Stephen Mangan, but mostly because it has something that the BBC’s new show Destination X, also apparently inspired by The Traitors, does not: lean simplicity. Oh, plus genuine suspense. A second series always carries the burden that players and viewers are more ‘knowing’, having seen it before. But this is perfectly decent game show fare.”
Carol Midgley, The Times

“Whoever invented this game show format must be blessed with a very high boredom threshold, because it is stultifyingly dull.”
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail

“There is nothing wonderfully new or innovative here, but it is a nicely packaged and paced six hours of solid entertainment. It is a flavoursome binge rather than something to be lingered over and savoured, but who doesn’t have an appetite for that?”
Lucy Mangan, The Guardian
