Friends Like These2003
Gameshow from the early noughties presented by Ant and Dec, and later (as in this clip) by Ian Wright. 2 teams of 5 friends, one team male, the other female, compete in one-on-one challenges to win a holiday (usually to Ibiza funnily enough) for all 5 of the winning team. The final round was called "The Decider" where the 5 members of the winning team would answer questions individually about the person they thought they knew most in the team to win a place on the holiday. If they got it right, their chair went white, if not it went red. The ultimate test of friendship was whether the white chairs would risk it all for the sake of the red chairs and answer one more question. Get it right, they all went on the holiday, get it wrong, they all went home!
