    The new series of Winning Streak is back on the 24th of September.

    The top prize for the scratchcard cannot be a mistake can it? €5,000? They must be joking. Surely it's just an error on TNL's part; Right?

    In their promotion of the card:

    Win great instant cash prizes or get your three stars for your chance to join Marty and Sinead for the return of Europe’s longest running TV gameshow.


    But in this description of a video they uploaded last April...

    Marty and Sinead give us a look at what happens behind the scenes of Europe's second longest-running TV game show!


    They couldn't possibly have looked at this thread - and in particular, this post I made in June 2015. COULD THEY??!?!?! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :D:D:D:D

    RTE and the National Lottery have been making this claim for several years - even when Wetten, Dass...? was still going.

    This was the original German version of You Bet!, and it ended last year having run for 33 years - nearly a decade longer than the 'Streak.

    And surely it, and YB!, were games of chance - all the contestants had to do was predict whether or not a challenge would be completed successfully...

    I'm afraid they probably realised that countdown has been running longer

    Here is said video, BTW:

    Hard to believe that Marty's about to start his eighth year as host - thus surpassing Derek Mooney (who hosted from 2001 to 2008).

    He still has a few years to go before he can say that he's hosted it longer than Mike Murphy, though. :);)

    Why be afraid? :)

    And while Countdown has indeed been running longer, the French show on which it is based has been running longer still - 44 years and counting. ;)

    Mais bien sûr, neither are games of chance like the 'Streak is. ;);)
