Beat the Crusher (1999)

Beat the Crusher was a game show airing on Sky One during 1999 in the United Kingdom. It was hosted by comedian Freddie Starr, with assistant Melinda Messenger. The show was noted for its bizarre end game, which featured two couples gambling their automobiles for the chance to win a new one. The winning team received the new car, while the losing couple's car was dropped into a car crusher and destroyed, with their bus fare home being given as a consolation prize.
