What's the story?
Bridge of Lies.
The ill-fated Northern Ireland crossing?
Thankfully not in this instance. I'm talking about a new daily teatime quiz show on BBC One, presented by Ross Kemp.
The former EastEnders star-turned-documentary maker?
That's him. House of Lies, made in Glasgow by STV Studios, tasks contestants with separating truths and lies based on general knowledge categories.
Isn't Ross Kemp scared of Glasgow?
It briefly seemed that way. After shooting an episode of Ross Kemp: Extreme World in 2012, he caused a furore by reportedly claiming Glasgow was the toughest of all the places he visited for the Sky series. He returned in 2017 to film another documentary, Ross Kemp Behind Bars: Inside Barlinnie.
What is the premise of the quiz show?
Players must attempt to step on stones that pertain to truths and avoid the lies – or risk being eliminated from the game. Once they've conquered "the Bridge" solo, contestants then team up for the chance to win a cash prize.

Anything else?
According to Kemp: "The Bridge can be kind, but it's a formidable beast. The game relies on knowledge, strategy, and a little bit of luck. It's loads of fun, but there's also a lot of jeopardy involved."
When can I watch?
Bridge of Lies begins on BBC One, Monday, at 4.30pm.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
