Kidnapped (2002)

Game show hosted by Dave Holmes and with a relationship theme which saw three 20-ish friends having to try and liberate a fourth friend who had been kidnapped by the shows production staff. There were three rounds and in each round, 2 points were awarded for a correct response, with one point deducted for a wrong answer. Round one involved answering questions about the hostage and themselves; round two was based on predicting the outcome of pre-taped footage of the hostage; round three was a general-knowledge quiz. Ending each round with enough points (10 in rounds 1 and 3, 5 in round 2) earn one of four "keys"; failing to earn a key subjected the hostage to a bit of torture. (The fourth key can be earned by one of the three friends agreeing to a bit of torture themselves.) Having the right key at shows end "freed the hostage" and earned the group a holiday.
