Lucky Ladders is a United Kingdom daytime game show based on the American format titled Chain Reaction that was produced by Anglia and aired on ITV from 21 March 1988 until 14 May 1993.
A wrong guess or taking too long would make it the opposing team's turn.
The players were only allowed five free letter clues instead of the unlimited supply they had in the main game.
Any teams who completed five jackpot ladders were retired from the game, usually with a big prize.
The entire show was made cheaply and en masse in order to fill a weekday half-hour slot, and the prizes were not generally of a great equivalent cash value.
