Make Your Play is a live, interactive quiz show, showing on the ITV Network and ITV2 a few nights a week after midnight. The show was launched on Friday 29 September 2006 on ITV and ITV Play. The show airs Monday to Saturday after midnight.
The prizes are greater than usually available on ITV Play (often exceeding £20,000), but as a result of this, callers are usually taken less often.
In order to win money, viewers must either call in at a cost of 75p from a BT landline, or enter through the ITV website. If they are successful they will be placed on hold, then transferred live to the studio if they are lucky, where they go on to deliver their answer.
Make Your Play has given over £3 million pounds. It went over the £3 million mark on 1 July 2007, when a contestant by the name of Mr Joesph Percy said "next day". An on screen graphic was then shown saying "£3 Million Given Away" accompanied with a siren sound effect.
Controversy
A game where viewers were invited to "add the pence" was criticised for providing a solution which was all but impossible to reach.[1]
In February and March of 2007, ITV Play and all shows associated with it were suspended after allegations that consumers were being cheated. ITV decided to suspend these services – which included phone-in votes and competitions on shows such as Dancing on Ice and This Morning – while an independent review was carried out to see if members of the public were getting a fair deal when they rang in. The problem was shortly resolved, and the ITV Play channel was closed down "permanently".[2]
An announcement on 12 September, 2007 confirmed that the show, along with similar late night phone ins, would be phased out by the end of 2007. [3]
ITV Play's Glitterball ended on 30 September, 2007. As a result, Make Your Play was extended, running six nights a week until the closure of ITV Play, expected to be December.
On the 27 October 2007 at about 1:10am, the show had 'technical difficulties' this was filled with Russ Spencer interviewing fellow presenter Yolly. He also gave a film review and some 'facinating facts'. The 'technical difficulties' are because ITV were allegadly fixing the calls.
