GAME SHOWS
Game shows are very popular television
programmes. One famous British show is Who
wants to be a Millionaire? On the show, people
answer questions. The questions are easy at
first, but they become more difficult. Between
1998
and 2008, fifteen players won the top prize of
1,000,000! People also played this show in
many different countries, such as the USA,
South Africa and Japan.
The first ever TV game show was in 1938. It
was a British show called Spelling Bee. The
presenter was a man called Freddie
Grisewood. He had short, dark hair and
glasses. Freddie asked people on
the show to spell words. The show wasnt very
exciting because the game was really easy!
In many modern game shows, like The X
Factor, people try to win prizes and become
famous by singing. The musician Noemi didnt
win first prize on the Italian version of the
show. But her music became very popular!
Noemi is slim, with long, brown hair. She first
appeared on TV when she was a baby!
