There will be the rounds viewers came to know and love in the original show, there are with an extra half hour to fill lots of new points-making games too. There will be celebrity shoppers and surprises along the way too. In this first outing, which ATV Today took a sneak peak into, be ready for grapes a couple mistaken as Richard and Judy and a far from happy experience for the sanitary aisle. |
