The Mint Extra, originally Extra Mint, was an early evening version of The Mint, which was developed and was shown on ITV's newly launched ITV Play channel. Extra Mint was presented by one presenter and gave away much smaller sums of money to winners. It featured very different games than the late-night edition. On the 14th of May 2006 the last episode of the Extra Mint was shown, and was replaced at the time by, Friends Reunited: The Common Room. However, a similar show, The Mint Extra, began airing on weekends since 9 September 2006. The Mint Extra was also going to be showing on selected weekdays in the future between 20:00-22:00, however will be known as Mini-Mint.
