CHANNEL 5 bosses have decided to shelf one of their new game shows after just one series. Puzzling was headed up by TV historian Lucy Worsley , who previously admitted she was nervous for the new venture. 2 Lucy Worsley's game show has been axed 2 The Channel 5 show called Puzzling only ran for one series Credit: Channel 5 She told the Sun TV mag: "I’m a wreck, an utter heap of nerves.
This is all new to me, and the pressure of it is extraordinary. "There are so many things that could go wrong, for the contestants but also for me. "I’m under huge pressure to get the question out quickly but correctly.
It’s been a real joy, but also terrifying. "Normally I’m out with a very small crew stuck on a rainy street corner in Edinburgh. I’m not used to working with such a large, complex team in such a big TV studio.
" Now it seems those fears were founded, as Puzzling has been ditched after airing for just one series. The game show required contestants to use their language skills, lateral thinking, visual intelligence and memory to solve various mind boggling puzzles. Before taking on the new role as gameshow host, Lucy was known for presenting historical documentaries on the BBC.
One of them that became especially popular, called Suffragettes , showed Lucy's journey into the actions of the women who campaigned for the vote as their fight descended from a peaceful protest into anarchy.
