So, good ol' Martin Lewis teaches you how to save money... a lot. You see him on many ITV programmes like This Morning and his own programme, The Martin Lewis Money Show. This time, he's teaching you how to win at board games; four to be specific.
First of all, this is yet another example of why ITV's commissioners should reconsider some of the shows that they've been putting on lately. This special is nothing more than something you can easily watch on YouTube and even feels like it was formatted for that in mind. Like, what's so exciting about Martin helping some junior school kids play Connect 4? Sure, he can't turn into a money-prone superhero and save the world from impending doom, as that's just my imagination thinking of something much more exciting than this.
A good thing about this special, yes there is some good as well... is that it's not a blatant product placement farm for Hasbro or Mattel because if it was, it would show that it would be - big time. The other good is that it is educational and teaches some good advice; but once again, if I wanted board game tips then I would go on YouTube, of which you can find many different examples rather than four with an abundance of filler.
Overall, this is yet another flopped commission from ITV proving they can be relevant with the audience. If you want your share of Martin Lewis, just wait until his Money Show goes back on air, or even then; just go onto his website!
