Title: ABC picks up "Five to Survive"- with Ricky Gervais....
Post by: weaklink75 on October 13, 2016, 09:57:59 AM: http://deadline.com/2016/10/abc-orders-ricky-gervais-game-show-five-to-survive-1201835468/

Standard one-person Q&A, but the twist is if the contestant misses a question, they can get saved if a group of five kids who have been asked the same question get the right answer (Gervais will interact with the kids, there will be a different host with the adult player)

The host's accent.

I've already watched a few episodes of Are You Smarter than a 10 Year Old with Noel Edmonds. I think I'm all set here. :-P

(I find Gervais more palatable)

Ricky will still be a big part of the show, though.
