The Hour

Our brand new game show, What’s on the Box?, continues each Friday, when two lucky callers will battle it out to win fantastic prizes.

All they need to do is answer questions about items that have been featured on the show and the winner picks up a great reward!

If neither caller manages to answer the questions correctly then the prize will roll over to the next week, when more viewers can have a go.
