A confession.

This is the most entertaining programme on TV at the moment.

I must be getting old, but I love it, even set it to record paperbag

I don't watch it regularly, but it is a good programme.

Watched todays, they cracked me up.

Nice interplay between the two hosts.

I find the interplay cringeworthy. It creaks along...I do admit I sometimes play along..but I tend to blot out the horrible jokes made by the comedians and that other fellabiggrin

And me.

Quite avariety of subjects; not sure I could have named 3 OZ PMs under pressure yesterday, and I don't know a word of French, so would have struggled today.

The twins were lovely though cloud9

It is indeed addictive; the variety of subject matter and the relative absence of pointless(see what I did there!) induced jeopardy is refreshing. I note that most of the audience (and some of the contestants) appear to have emerged from the 'funny looking' end of the gene pool though.

Excellent show - Alexander Armstrong is a very likeable host and along with Richard Osman as his assistant the pair make a good team. Easy and entertaining viewing.

I've seen it a few times, it is one of the better quizes mainly because of the host's banter.

But the final, you not only have to be lucky with the choices but also the answers as well sometimes. I've seen finals where there have been 10+ pointless answers but others when there are only 3 or 4, if it's a tricky subject they can have no chance.


I did see today's. Mexico, Orlando and Detroit.............banghead

Not only that but the maths teacher who said Mexico looked like the only gay in the village.

It's back on BBC1 now, celebrity shows this week. Stuart Baggs showing himself up today as a prize tool and Lembit Opik as a creepy banana faced creep.

Thanks, just been catching up on I-player.

Don't watch Apprentice but very quickly agreed that Stuart is a git.
More than compensated for by Carol Kirkwood though. yum

It must be the quiz show that asks the least questions. Even the winning couple only answer 4 or 5 questions each.

I didn't think there used to be multi choice answers?
