Dale's Supermarket Sweep was a UK game show based on the American Supermarket Sweep TV show format.

Format

1993 - 2001

The original show was recorded in the Television House in Nottingham, which was renamed the Carlton Studios in 1996. The supermarket set was created by actual retailers, either Co-op, Asda or Somerfield, depending on the series.

2007

The show was revived and rebranded as 'Dale's Supermarket Sweep', with former UK Fun House announcer Gary King announcing. Since the Carlton Studios was sold to the University of Nottingham and renamed King's Meadow Campus, the new series was recorded at The Maidstone Studios in Kent. The series was produced by talkbackTHAMES and broadcast on ITV.

Main Game

The game consists of three teams of two, each with a clock that starts with 60 seconds on it. The teams then attempt to add as much time to their clock by answering questions and riddles posed by host Dale Winton. The time they accumulate determines how long they have in the 'Big Sweep' round to run around a studio mock-up of a supermarket, collecting shopping items. The team with the shopping trolley filled with items of the most value wins the chance to enter the final 'Super Sweep' prize round. Within the game there were a number of rounds.

Mini Sweep

The Mini Sweep is a question round. On answering a question correctly, they have 10 seconds added to their clock. Dale then gives the winning contestants a clue as to which item he requires. The contestants then have to find the item with a "Supermarket Sweep" logo on within the supermarket and return to the start with it within 30 seconds for a bonus of £50 (formerly £25) to their sub total.

Games

There are a variety of possible games possible each week. Each correctly answered question or riddle is rewarded with 10 seconds added to the contestants' clock. Some games (such as Pick a Pair) offer a bonus 30 seconds if all contestants agree on an answer and that answer is correct.

  • Wordsearch
  • Alphabet Soup
  • Rhyme Time
  • In Betweens
  • Totals
  • Memory Game
  • Higher or Lower?
  • Pick a Pair
  • Random Reveal
  • Scrambled Letters
  • Dale's Bluff
  • Odd One Out

Round Robin/Dale's Daily

If a team answer a question correctly contestants switch with their partners tasked with answering the next question. The categories can be;

  • TV
  • Movies
  • Music
  • Hot Gossip

Big Sweep

This is the round where the contestants enter the aisles, starting with the team with the most time on their clocks and followed by the other two teams according to their times. The aim of this round is to gain as much value in their trolleys as possible in order to go on to the £5,000 Super Sweep game (formerly £2,000). Various bonuses are available to boost their totals and there are penalties for dropped items.

Bonuses

  • Pick 'n' Mix: 500g of five different varieties of sweets weighed up is worth £50 on their subtotal.
  • Manager's Special/Dale's Sale: The teams must find a tin marked with their own team colour for a bonus worth £50.
  • Shopping List: Dale gives a shopping list of 3 items for the contestants to find. All three must be collected for a bonus of £100. No partial credit can be given.
  • Inflatables are worth £25, £50, £75 or £100. Contestants are only allowed to collect one per team and do not know its value until after the sweep is complete.

Inflatables

  • Wine Bottle
  • Banana
  • Plant
  • Guitar
  • Cake
  • Hammer
  • Microphone

Penalties

Dale gives a penalty of £25 to teams who:

  • Leave dropped items
  • Break store items

Super Sweep

The team with the higher Big Sweep total (added with their sub total from bonuses and previous rounds) keeps their money and advances to the Super Sweep. The team have 60 seconds to find the £5,000 prize (formerly £2,000), by solving three clues. The first clue is given by Dale and time doesn't start until the clue has been read. The team must find the item from the clue to get the next clue. The second clue leads the contestants to the final item, behind which the money is found. As with the US version, the team has to find all three items and have their hands on the money before time expires. If they don't, they only leave with the cash equivalent of the value of the goods in their trolley.
