It marks the pair's first substantial on-screen work together since their Sky One sitcom Hitmen ended after two series.

Earlier this month, the pair launched a podcast titled Mel & Sue Should Know By Now.

This format features them recalling their worst gigs and exploring the science of comedy.

Meanwhile, Win Win's interactive twist sees viewers at home competing alongside 40 contestants in-studio.

They will play survey questions based on the views from members of the public.

Prizes up for grabs include dream holidays, luxury cars, and tickets to some of the world’s biggest sporting and entertainment events.

This all builds towards to an epic finale where one contestant is guaranteed to win £1,000,000.

In fact, that winner could potentially be a viewer who reached the final.

Win Win with People's Postcode Lottery series will be airing on Saturday nights for six weeks.

Now ITV’s biggest ever ad-funded series, Win Win comes via BE Studio.

This full-service creative studio has brought People’s Postcode Lottery and ITV together to co-fund the new format.

Discussing the upcoming quiz, Mel Giedroyc said: “This quiz is so extra!

“Imagine winning something like a car just by playing along with a gameshow you’re watching on a Saturday night in your pyjamas? I can’t wait!”;

Sue Perkins added: “If I wasn’t hosting this, I’d be playing it at home; sat in my leopard print onesie, cuddling the dog whilst trying to figure out The Nation’s favourite chocolate bar. Bring it on!”;

Hardest Quiz Show Questions

Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV's hardest questions

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire – Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the “worst” question in the show's history. Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: “From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?”; The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000.
The 1% Club – Viewers of Lee Mack's popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed. The query went as follows: “Edna's birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen's birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir's birthday must be the ‘X' of January.” It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir’s birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence.
The Chase – The ITV daytime favourite left fans scratching their heads when it threw up one of the most bizarre questions to ever grace the programme. One of the questions asked the player: “Someone with a nightshade intolerance should avoid eating what?” The options were – sweetcorn, potatoes, carrots – with Steve selecting sweetcorn but the correct answer was potatoes.

Katie Rawcliffe, Director of Entertainment & Daytime ITV, said: “We are delighted to have the brilliant Mel and Sue bringing this new format to life.

“Forget shouting at the telly or rowing with your family about the answers – you can actually join in and be in with a chance of winning the same prize you’re seeing on screen.”;

Bhavit Chandrani, Director, BE Studio from ITV, added: “This is our biggest ad-funded show yet and we’re thrilled that by working with People’s Postcode Lottery and Hello Dolly we’re able to deliver such an interactive programme for viewers, who have real chances of bagging the same huge prizes they’re seeing contestants win, from the comfort of their sofas.”;

Win With with People's Postcode Lottery will air on ITV1 and ITVX.
