Moneybags is a British game show that aired on Channel 4 since 8 November 2021 and is hosted by Craig Charles.

Background[]

On 6 July 2021, the show was commissioned by Channel 4. It is produced by Youngest Media, who also created the game shows Pointless and The Million Pound Drop, the latter being on Channel 4.[2][3]

Format[]

Players are randomly selected to appear before a conveyor belt where bags representing possible answers pass in front of them. Correct answers give the player money, with £1 million available per week. The winners of three head-to-head games advance to a three-way eliminator, in which the winner plays in the final for the chance to win the money.[4]

Reception[]

Joel Golby of The Guardian wrote "Craig Charles is the perfect quizshow host. Moneybags is the perfect quiz". He considered Charles to be a better host than Gary Lineker on and the show to have better questions than the Ian Wright-hosted Moneyball, two new ITV game shows.[5]
