Frame of the intro.
Status: Partially Found
Vegas Virgins is a 2005 Lion TV production created and aired on Challenge TV in August 2005.
The show revolves around five Brits and five Americans who are sent to Las Vegas to take a two week crash course in poker. The winner gets a seat on the high rollers table for a shot at $10,000 (about £6,000). Colin McFarlane was the narrator.[1]
As of 2024, the show has not been broadcast on any UK TV channels. It was reran from 2006-2011 on channels Ftn, Virgin 1, and Channel One and repeats of the show continued on Challenge throughout the early 2010s. When contacted, Sky TV mentions they don't own any distribution/broadcast rights to the show anymore.[2]
As such, episodes of the show are very hard to find online, with only a few summaries, news articles of when it was new, images, a promo, and one minute of the beginning of Episode 2 recorded from a Challenge 2011 broadcast.
