The narrative of the show encourages the viewer to use their powers of observation and common sense to guide Ian Wright (seasoned adventurer from the Lonely Planet guides) through a series of challenging situations in modern-day Egypt.
The programme follows his journey from London, via Aswan, deep in the south of Egypt, to Saqqara where the pyramid was invented, and on to the Great Pyramid itself at Giza. There viewers face their final challenge - to unlock the pharaoh's hidden chamber.
If they choose the right path (choose the correct video streams) they are awarded a number that makes part of a secret code to unlock a tomb and have the chance of winning a dream holiday to Egypt.
'Pyramid' will be repeated on BBC ONE on Sunday 10 November. The competition closes November 15th. |
