A POPULAR 90s presenting duo are reuniting to host ITV’s most interactive quiz show.
Comedy pair Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins will helm Win Win with People’s Postcode Lottery.
It marks the pair’s first substantial on-screen work together since their Sky One sitcom Hitmen ended after two series.
Earlier this month, the pair launched a podcast titled Mel & Sue Should Know By Now.
This format features them recalling their worst gigs and exploring the science of comedy.
Meanwhile, Win Win’s interactive twist sees viewers at home competing alongside 40 contestants in-studio.
They will play survey questions based on the views from members of the public.
Prizes up for grabs include dream holidays, luxury cars, and tickets to some of the world’s biggest sporting and entertainment events.
This all builds towards to an epic finale where one contestant is guaranteed to win £1,000,000.
In fact, that winner could potentially be a viewer who reached the final.
Win Win with People’s Postcode Lottery series will be airing on Saturday nights for six weeks.
Now ITV’s biggest ever ad-funded series, Win Win comes via BE Studio.

I can’t wait!”
Sue Perkins added: “If I wasn’t hosting this, I’d be playing it at home; sat in my leopard print onesie, cuddling the dog whilst trying to figure out The Nation’s favourite chocolate bar. Bring it on!”
Katie Rawcliffe, Director of Entertainment & Daytime ITV, said: “We are delighted to have the brilliant Mel and Sue bringing this new format to life.
“Forget shouting at the telly or rowing with your family about the answers – you can actually join in and be in with a chance of winning the same prize you’re seeing on screen.”
Bhavit Chandrani, Director, BE Studio from ITV, added: “This is our biggest ad-funded show yet and we’re thrilled that by working with People’s Postcode Lottery and Hello Dolly we’re able to deliver such an interactive programme for viewers, who have real chances of bagging the same huge prizes they’re seeing contestants win, from the comfort of their sofas.”
Win With with People’s Postcode Lottery will air on ITV1 and ITVX.
