The First Hour is a Ginx TV production which plays the first hour of a brand new game or a recent classic for the very first time. The main presenter has always been Adam Savage who has been joined by guests such as Lucy James and Neil Cole.
A French version of the show started to film in November 2015 with original non-dubbed presenters.
The show was cancelled on 11 April 2016 because its producers, Ginx TV, wanted to take the channel in a different direction. However, on 9 February 2017 it was confirmed via Ginx TV's Facebook page that the show will be back for a new series, starting 16 February 2017, with Adam Savage and Anthony Richardson returning as hosts of the show.
