What happens

You Bet! is a British game show, based on the German series Wetten, dass..?, that originally aired on ITV for ten series and a number of specials between 20 February 1988 and 12 April 1997, and was revived on 7 December 2024. It was initially hosted by Bruce Forsyth (1988–1990), then by Matthew Kelly (1991–1995) and finally Darren Day (1996–1997). In August 2024, ITV announced that the show would be returning for two special episodes later that year with Stephen Mulhern and Holly Willoughby as hosts. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
