Cheap Cheap Cheap is a British television game show produced by Hat Trick Productions for Channel 4, presented and created by Noel Edmonds. Billed as "a game show that thinks it's a sitcom", the show takes place in a fictional general store and centres on a game show, hosted by the store owner (Edmonds).[1][2] He is joined by the shop's eccentric staff, played by actors who appear throughout the game.

Pairs of contestants are invited up to win an increasing amount of money by correctly picking the cheapest of three similar items, taken from the shop's stock. If they fail to guess the cheapest item they are eliminated from the game and lose all their money.[3]

Series overview

Series 1 (2017)

The first series, comprising thirty episodes, was originally broadcast each weekday at 3:00 pm from 14 August 2017 on Channel 4.

Channel 4 have speculated that the show could face being axed after the series, ultimately due to low ratings (averaging 80,000 per episode). A spokesperson for the network has said “Channel 4 took a chance with this show but it hasn’t gone as well as expected. Bosses are now deciding whether it will continue after the current series."[4] This is yet to be confirmed.
