Silence Is Golden, presented by Dermot O'Leary, is the show where a studio audience is given £250,000 but there's a green room of entertainers headed up by Katherine Ryan, Seann Walsh and Fatiha El-Ghorri attempting to bring the prize pot down.
Every single noise any audience member makes loses them all money.
Each episode begins with the studio audience getting £250,000 to share between them. All they need to do to keep it...is not make a sound.
With every audience member miked up, all hell breaks loose as a green room of 30 acts, led by three returning comedian captains, headed up by Katherine Ryan, wage war on the audience, with every sound forced out of them bringing the total prize money down.
It's entertainers vs audience - they're not on the same side. If the entertainers get the prize pot to zero, they get to give the money to charity.
