Correct!

You are a man after my own heart. The two best quizzes by a mile.

The merit of a quiz is very often in inverse ratioto the monetary value of the prize.

What an abomination that Celebrity Mastermind is.

There was a "celeb" lastb night scored two points on his special subject and two more on general knowledge. He knew virtually nothing.


It just demeans the proper Mastermind and brings it into disrepute.

That's a regular occurrence. Many just go on to promote themselves

I also wonder if they don't want to appear to "swotty" and "square" by demonstrating a bit of knowledge. Doesn't fit in with their "edgy" or "too cool for school" public persona.

I think too many have crossed a line which basically shows they are jus thick. 10-11 points is respectable across the 2 rounds but single figures.....

Adding the word "celebrity" to any programme demeans that programme. The obvious exception being Deal or No Deal as it's utter shite anyway.

Even though it’s a bit twee at times I think House of Games is a good quiz and works well with the celebrities that go on there, some get very competitive. It’s a good show because you can be really good at some rounds but be terrible at others.

Oops ! Wrong thread.

What was the German quiz show that was on sky early 90s
They turned cards over but instead of higher or lower you had to guess if the picture of the lady would have less clothes or more clothes than the previous picture

Yeah I like it too. Gives me something other than football to talk to my dad about. But I think he only watches it to have a moan about one of the contestants not sharing the prizes if they win a few over the week.

Amol Rajan was on it a bit back and was very poor at it. I never look at him the same any longer on UC when he tries his Paxman look of distain at a contestant getting an obvious answer wrong like “No … (idiot) … Brahms, of course”.

I SAID NO CONFERRING!

Yeah some do get exposed a bit on some quizzes. I'd have Paxman back on UC. Nothing against Rajan.

Only Connect - the latest show erroneously stated that Danny Boyle is Scottish. He was born in Radcliffe, parents of Irish descent.

My Friend thinks it was an Italian show and called Tutti Frutti.

There seems to be an increase in 'shout-at-pictures' quiz shows. Adults acting like children.

Easiest quiz on the radio this morning big red from Chorley, you’ve got 14 to beat from Monday. question 2 which channels Eastenders on? ans. ITV :-) yep definitely a red .

 

[Crouchinho]

Fifteen To One with William G Stewart is quite easily the best quiz show ever made for me. Quickfire questions with no dicking about, it catered all subjects. A bit like the US with its Jeopardy quiz show.

Channel 4 absolutely nailed it with 15-1 and Countdown one after the other.

Love a quiz show, I do miss question of sport

I liked it in the old days where it was a proper show. They started to add entertainment and comedy to it, it became a banter show and the quiz side became stupidly easy
