Stephen Mulhern talks about his game show where players need just a penny to hit the jackpot...
Q People will know In for a Penny as a segment on Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway. How thrilled are you that it’s now a full series?
A I’m over the moon! This was Ant and Dec’s idea and they think it could be the best thing on telly. People want to have a laugh watching TV and forget all the serious stuff and In for a Penny is just good family entertainment. The idea of being able to say to people, ‘All you need is a penny to play to win a grand’ is great. It’s a genius!
Q Why do you think the show works so well?
