Synopsis

The premise of the game was for teams to make as much money as possible from an imaginary £100,000 on the Stock Market by the end of the season. There were 5 active teams at any point, each having a day of the week to show their imaginary portfolios and state what they were buying and selling. If a team ever had below £90,000 in their imaginary pot at the beginning of their show they were kicked off and a new team brought in to replace them.

Each team consisted of 3 members of the public with little or no knowledge of the Stock Exchange. Tom Winnifrith, a professional investor, was on hand to give the teams advise with their portfolio. Prior to deciding on what they would buy or sell a Managing Director of a business listed on the Stock Exchange would come on and give a 60-second pitch to the team.

In addition to the 3 teams, there was an extra team called "the baby boomers" which were 3 babies that were given some random letter blocks which, when picked, triggered a buy of that stock and this introducing a random element to the game.

There was an online game section open to the public during the show which had a £10,000 prize each day.

Format

The show was very slick with lots of graphical representations of the Stock Exchange presented in real time. You would often see a teams stock go up or down as the show went on. Tom Winnifrith had a strong understanding of many of the companies chosen by the team and would give out facts and trivia at an easily understood level. Louise Noel would have informal chats to the teams and the Managing Director guests which brought a comfortable and accessible angle to the show.
