The Bridge of Lies is a British 2022 quiz show that has aired on BBC One since March 2022 and is presented by Ross Kemp.
Format
The British quiz show (hosted by Ross Kemp) involves a group of contestants who individually take turns to cross the 'Bridge of Lies', a digital floor that gradually displays both correct and wrong answers for a given category, and contribute toward a final cash prize. It always ends with a "Final Crossing" segment in which the contestants who successfully crossed the bridge must earn the accumulated cash prize by crossing another bridge, selecting the true statement amongst the wrong ones a number of times; these statements are all "general knowledge" rather than corresponding to a category.{{Cite web|first=Lauren|last=Morris|website=Radio Times|url=https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/entertainment/bridge-of-lies-rules-explained/|title=Bridge of Lies rules explained: How to play Ross Kemp quiz|date=14 March 2022|accessdate=13 April 2024}}
