Season
Simply the Best
0.00 48 minutes Simply the Best was a game show broadcast on the United Kingdom terrestrial network ITV in 2004.
Filmed in Jersey as a co-production of Carlton Television and Channel Television, it was hosted by Phil Tufnell and Kirsty Gallacher, and featured the cheerleaders from the American football team the Scottish Claymores.
Each week two teams from cities across the UK competed in a series of madcap games to go forward to a final, where the eventual prize was £50,000 for local community projects.
Howard Hughes provided the commentator of the show
The series was directly based on a French series entitled Intervilles, from which It's a Knockout had previously been adapted.
The 2004 winners were Leeds, while Sheffield were the runners-up.
The 2nd series of the show failed to broadcast in 2005 or subsequent years.
