Better the Brevil You Know (also known as You've Been Maimed)

New game show for BBC 2. Hosted by Matthew Kelly. (Or when he's on holiday, Stu Francis or Magnus Pike.)

Contestants are presented with 30 brevil sandwich makers. All but one contain money in cash, ranging from £1 to £10,000. Some of them are still on. One has been sabotaged, so that it reaches temperatures of several hundred degrees without tripping. Contestants open each brevil in turn, having to feel around inside for the money. After each brevil opening they can chose to stick or twist. Kelly holds an iron close to his face and asks it questions.
