(One of the new games was the 'Express Sweep', with Express being the name of the sponsor's convenience stores. They might well have acquired the rights to Dale, too, were it not for his death in April 2018, and Rylan Clark-Neal took over, this time for a twenty-episode spell on ITV2 - they'd obviously learned their lesson from the last remake - at 8pm, thus throwing away any lead-in they could have gained from The Chase.Įpisodes were lengthened to an hour, which meant more games, mainly played for five seconds rather than ten. But why, oh, why is Dale wearing middle-aged leather jackets - when did you last see a supermarket manager in that get-up? We want to see him in a Sainsbury's orange fleece at the very least.įremantle acquired the rights to make the show in October 2017. The questions are a little more challenging than the over-simple original, and the quiz zips along at a pretty good pace too. The format's pretty identical to the original, although it's got a new, bouncier theme tune (with "Check it out"s intact) and the top prize is now £5,000. Managing to repaint the walls without undermining the foundations, there's still a lot of fun to be had but the whole thing doesn't descend into parody and farce like Talkback's The Price is Right remake. The remake in 2007 is nothing short of triumphant.
"Dial Dale and be a winner!" Ooh er Missus! There was also a "You'll be able to answer this question if you're intelligent enough to breathe" 0898 competition. Oh, and they weren't allowed to knock a cameraman over either. There were a few stipulations though - no shopper was allowed more than three of any one item and any broken or dropped items carried a heavy penalty (£25). Each shopper was allowed to take a maximum of one and they were worth £25, £50, £75 or £100, the actual amount being revealed after the sweep. Inflatables: Placed around the Supermarket were various wacky inflatables (a big banana or fish or something).Any shopper who picked up all three of these items earned a £100 bonus. Dale's Shopping List: Before the sweep, Dale read out three items.If they do, that was another £50 (this wasn't included in the 2007 remake). Pricing Gun: Contestants could price up 12 coffee jars.If they could find the one with their team's colour stuck to it they added £50 to the sub-total. Manager's Special: Somewhere in the supermarket was a pile of tins.If they could weigh up exactly 500g made up of five different varieties of sweets (aided by one of the checkout girls) £50 would be added to the sub-total. Pik 'n' Mix: If the shopper wanted to, somewhere in the market was a Pik and Mix counter.

If they could find it and bring them back within 30 seconds they won a £25 bonus (£50 in the remake) to the Sub-total plus 10 seconds on their clock. Mini-Sweep: At the opening of the show, Dale would ask a question then ask one of the team to go and find it on the shelves.This bit was excellent fun and there were bonuses to contestants should they want them, including: This time would be used in the Supermarket Sweep itself, where one of each team would go "wild in the aisles" trying to hoy as much grub into their trolleys as their little flabby arms could manage. The first member of each team played the first two rounds, they swapped over for the next two, and the "Round Robin" free-for-all at the end involved the players pointlessly swapping positions after every single question. Each team begins with one minute on their clock but can earn 10 seconds for answering one of Dale's easy-peesy questions about food or Heat-style celebrity gossip. Three teams of contestants attempted to earn as much time on their clocks as possible by answering product and price related questions.
