Moneybags rules
Want to grab a fortune? It's never been easier – or more fun.
Ten contestants join Craig Charles each week for their chance to win a bag full of cash. Every week, there's £1million going down the money belt, so there's always plenty on offer – if you can keep a hold of it.
Players have to be randomly selected to take their place in front of the money belt for one of three head-to-head battles. There, they will have to answer quick fire questions by picking up a bag containing the right answer from the belt. Charles said of the money belt: "The bags come down the conveyor belt at quite a pace too, so you've got split second decisions to make and you haven't got that much thinking time. I think that's what makes contestants sometimes take a punt on them knowing the right answer."
The player who gains the most cash in each round will then go on to compete in a "triple header" – a three-way battle where the drama really happens, and fortunes can change within seconds. The players competing in this round will have to grab - or steal - the most cash to make it through to the final.
But can they win their hard-earned cash? Tune into Moneybags to find out.
Moneybags airs weekdays at 3pm on Channel 4. Check out more of our Entertainment coverage or visit our TV Guide to see what’s on tonight.
