BBC Bridge of Lies viewers raise concern 'five minutes' into new Ross Kemp quiz show

BBC's new quiz show came under fire from viewers within minutes of starting.

Bridge of Lies is presented by Ross Kemp and sees a team of players try to navigate their way across a bridge of stepping stones. The contestants must make sure they avoid the lies in order to cross the bridge successfully.

Anita, Rajan, Bobby and Sanj were the first group of quizzers to take on the bridge. However, only Anita and Bobby made it through to the final of the first episode with the chance to take home £950.

The two opted to halve their prize pot in order to bring Sanj back and compete for an overall £475. The three were unable to progress over the bridge meaning they left empty-handed.

However, viewers following the show on Twitter were unimpressed with the new format and took to the social media platform to criticise the programme.

Mark said: "This is annoying me already and it's only been on 5 mins"

Liz posted: "So boring."

@Mal2pool commented: "Yet another filler quiz. They cancelled great quizzes like the link and question jury for this and daras quiz yesterday. Far too many cheap quizzes on now"

@CountryMousie posted : "Dear God I thought Rebel last night was bad enough; that pretend brick wall though #BridgeOfLies #ABridgeTooFar"

Mick tweeted: "I like the idea #BridgeofLies but that was painful to watch."

Bridge of Lies continues tomorrow at 4.30pm on BBC One.
