Quiz Shows

I know that it’s not on thread…..but the worst quizzes on UK TV are…
QUESTION OF SPORT - ultimate dumbing down of a once classic TV series. Shockingly bad at every level. Needs to be hooked.
Captains sliding little pretend curling stones!! Puerile nonsense.
TENABLE - utter shite. Warwick Davis has no personality at all and the entire concept is just a patheticly poor ripoff from Family Fortunes.
EGGHEADS - so bad that it went to Channel 5.

Quite right. QOS was once great, it’s now proper shit.

Eggheads does me swede in. They all spend so long saying shit like “I don’t think it’s A, and I’ve not heard of C, so I’m going to say B”… JUST FUCKING SAY “B” THEN YOU ****!… that there’s only about six questions asked in half an hour.

I like the house of games but only the answer smash bit at the end, and also only connect, but only the last round in that too, where they give you the first letters. I miss turnabout, that was a good quiz show

House of games is a good watch especially as even a numpty like me can answer some questions

Only connect is the opposite end of the scale. In the first rounds up to the connections board I do a knee slide across the lounge if I get a question right

I hate the game shows where the competitors are all friendly with each other.
Tipping point is an example of this. Someone drops a counter and a fellow competitor says "Yeah, looks good. Well done"
I'd be muttering "fucking ****"
 
Shooting stars.
Some absolute genius comedy moments on those shows.
University challenge, great program, I even get the odd question right.
But that only connect is fucking mental, I don't think I've ever got one right.
Popmaster, I listen most days, never scored more than 28. Must be hard under pressure. That 3 in ten is brutal, even if you know/ like the artist.

It's to pan the episode into 30 mins. The producer wanted the explanations and didn't want one word answers.
The show I was on didn't have too much of that shown because our captain took all of the eggheads to 3 tie break questions - if he hadn't then there would have been more filler on what we did for a living and why we chose Crete instead of Rhodes or Coz.

Presently though the chase is the best on telly

Every time Henry Kelly would tell a contestant "You're playing catch-up" ... I would shout at the telly "You're not 'playing effing catch-up' - you're losing !"

Probably just me.

Our very own Sally Lindsay is the new assistant quizmaster on Pointless tonight.
She replaces Richard Osman after his 12 year stint.
She should be great at answering questions on Manchester City !!

The City fan who was on the last two episodes of Richards’s last series should have been on today for his third and final appearance. But it was recorded the day after the Villa game last season so he didn’t bother going.
