This next show is yet another game show that has its origins in the USA. It seems the UK and the USA both have a love of game shows, and it seems that although we take different approaches many shows that originate in either country are often picked up within the other - even if the show would never have been commissioned in the first place without proven success.
Wheel Of Fortune I believe falls into the latter category. I don't believe it would have been commissioned if it had first been presented in the UK, I believe it was only commissioned due to its success in the USA - I happen to believe the same holds true in reverse for Who Wants To Be A Millionaire for the simple reason that the "audience" of either country in the eyes of programme commissioners are considered to be fundamentally different. I don't think many would argue that Wheel of Fortune is quite typically American by nature.
The show didn't make it into the top 10 as it often wasn't that funny. The video below demonstrates this, but also demonstrates the host Bradley Walsh horrendous wardrobe.
