I have been watching it, trying really hard to like it . I thought Stephen Fry might warm up but I am not convinced it's his forte.
It's such a flat format.

What I have noticed is a recurring theme to some of the contestants. They have had a series of contestants who I would judge to have undergone some degree of gender change .

The current series champion an example of this .
It's every week , perhaps representing society but not seen elsewhere on afternoon game shows .

Do you think Fry has a say in the contestants, he openly champions diversity , particularly in relation to gender and sexual orientation.

Before I receive a piston heads type response I have no objection not do I overly support the make up of the contestants. It does really stick out against any type of similar show , so just interested.

If Fry is trying to make it part of the show , he has chosen a bad vehicle, I think the show is ever so dull.

I liked the sound of it, really tried, but not taken by it at all.
The episodes I saw, some unlikeable person ran away with it!
Gave up, can’t see it being around long here..

It just feels incredibly dated and doesn't feel like it's changed in any way from the 80's American version, it's so staid.

I agree about the demographic of the contestants, very odd.

Having to say 'what is, who is etc' in front of the answer is just tedious.

Had the feel of desperation about it. Mr Fry looked most uncomfortable.

Caught the odd episode and found Fry to be unbelievably pompous and irritating.

Couldn't even bear the odd couple of minutes of him before The Chase started.
