What is Ross Kemp’s new show Bridge of Lies about?
Ross‘ new show debuted on Monday, and it’s received a mixed reception from viewers.
Bridge of Lies is pretty simple to wrap your head around. Teams of four have to walk across a ‘bridge’ by answering general knowledge questions in the hope of winning a big money prize.
The ‘bridge’ in question consists of a series of stepping stones. If they step on a ‘true’ answer, they’re safe.

However, if they step on a ‘false’ answer, they could face elimination.
Ross asks a contestant a question, they then have to make their way across the bridge by stepping on ‘true’ answers to the questions.
If they step on a ‘false’ answer, their cash prize is halved. If they step on three ‘false’ answers, they’re out.
How did viewers react to Ross Kemp’s new quiz show?
Some viewers were not impressed with the show and took to Twitter to complain.
“Dear Contestant. Thank you for your application to be on #TippingPoint. Unfortunately, you are too dim, even for us, and have been unsuccessful on this occasion. However, we *have* passed your name to the BBC for a new gameshow with Ross Kemp,” one viewer joked.
” That #BridgeOfLies on Bbc1 is painful. If you have 5 mins to get across, why spend half of it talking about your answer. Just step on the blooming thing already!!!!” another said.
“This is my first time seeing #BridgeOfLies. Never again!” a third wrote.
“Ross Kemp is no quiz show host,” another viewer tweeted.
“So boring #BridgeOfLies,” a fifth said.
