God's Gift

God's Gift was a British television game show broadcast for 2 series. It was produced by Granada Television and presented from the studio floor by Davina McCall and Claudia Winkleman. Stuart Hall provided the voiceover for both series. Jimmy Savile voiced on some later editions in series 2. Each week five male contestants would vie with each other to win the affections and votes of a female audience by participating in a series of facetious games designed to "test" their sex appeal. The winner's prize would be to take an audience member of his choice out on a date, which was then filmed for broadcast in the following week's show. The series was broadcast in the early hours of a Thursday morning and was usually repeated in the early hours of Sunday morning on ITV, although not every region took the series. The second series was axed after fewer regions decided to broadcast it. The show's title came from the phrase "God's gift to women", i.e. an ironic description of a would-be Casanova.
