Moneybags is a British game show that aired on Channel 4 since 8 November 2021 and is hosted by Craig Charles.

Background

On 6 July 2021, the show was commissioned by Channel 4. It is produced by Youngest Media.[2][3]

Format

Players are randomly selected to appear before a conveyor belt where bags representing possible answers pass in front of them. Correct answers give the player money, with £1 million available per week. The winners of three head-to-head games advance to a three-way eliminator, in which the winner plays in the final for the chance to win the money.[4]

Reception

Joel Golby of The Guardian wrote "Craig Charles is the perfect quizshow host. Moneybags is the perfect quiz". He considered Charles to be a better host than Gary Lineker on Sitting on a Fortune and the show to have better questions than the Ian Wright-hosted Moneyball, two new ITV game shows.[5]
