HE is what you might describe as a game lad - that's Barnsley bloke Alan Bower who's been seen on TV on a new gameshow called Benchmark.

Alan, of Innovation Way Wilthorpe, is an old hand at TV gameshows.

His latest, which is presented by comedian Paddy McGuinness, is the sixth he has taken part in.

Previous game shows he has had a crack at are Bruce's Price Is Right, The National Lottery: Come and Have a Go If You Think You're Smart Enough, The Weakest Link and Tipping Point.
