Premium Review Catchphrase: It's good, but it's not right! (315 words)

Well actually it's neither good or right. I must express my utter disappointment in the new catchprase. I am totally disheartened when I turn on my television and have to ask myself: what happened to the delightful Roy Walker with his own special catchphrases? "Oooh, say what you see", being amongst other classics. ...  Read the complete review

Rating:

Since Roy Walker left Catchphrase the show has rapidly gone downhill. Even though things said by Roy were corny, he knew how to host the show. Nick Wier just doesn't have what it takes and he doesn't seem to fit in. If you've never seen Catchphrase, it's a game show in which contestants try to guess a catchphrase by ...  Read the complete review

BRING BACK ROY WALKER Catchphrase has never been the same since Roy left and was replaced with Nick, and I personally think his sense of humour is...well... (I'm too polite to write it!) Is it just me or does he seem to be as annoying as Anne Robinson, on The Weakest Link??? The show is just absolute s**t now, ...  Read the complete review

This game will never be the same again! Why? Because the Fat Cats of Catchpharse feel that they should introduce a new look without Mr Chips and Roy Walker! Why! You should never change an already impressive game show! But they have, and the new host is Nick something, is not very good! He sounds and acts like he is a million dollers, but ...  Read the complete review

Guess the (not at all) popular phrases from a very simple computer animation. Example - A man wearing a T-Shirt which says 'Freudian' on it slipping on a banana skin. oooooooooooohhhh tricky. But don't play along (that would be too easy!), just marvel at the stupidity of the two contestants - Contestant ...  Read the complete review

Catchphrase has always been a great show, with its unique contestants and fantastic prize money. This show is popular with young and old. But! where has Roy Walker gone this man was a genious at presenting the show, and is badly missed. The current presenter is just not up to scratch, he has no talent and no idea. The show has become less ...  Read the complete review

Catchphrase is a game show hosted by Roy Walker. It consists of two contestants who have to guess the hidden catchphrase from pictures shown on the screen. It is fun to watch and fun to guess at home. Beware some of them are easy and if I’m honest some I’ve never heard of. There is a bonus round that has one square revealed each ...  Read the complete review

Catchphrase: Bring Roy Walker back! (227 words)

Catchphrase used to be one of my favourite game shows when I was younger, always trying to guess the clue and figure out the picture, going on this game show is very worth while, as the prize money is really good, and you don't have to win to come home with a good cash prize. I have realised that Roy Walker no longer presents the show, and as ...  Read the complete review

A game which is exactly as the title suggests, you have to guess the catch phrase for money and to go through to win the big holiday prize. I never knew there were so many catch phrases! The programme has not only changed the Host from Roy Walker to Nick Weir, which is an almighty improvement. but the format has also changed. It ...  Read the complete review

"RIIIIIGHT!" used to be the excited scream from Roy Walker. Not anymore. Now we have Nick Weir doing the old funny man routine. He is no Roy Walker. He has never appeared on the commedians either( under 20's will not know this, ask your parents) and has not got the charisma of the cheeky lad from Belfast. The show may have ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review It's not right (92 words)

Rating:

Roy Walker, former presenter of Catchphrase, was a slightly charismatic individual. He kept the show moving, added the odd spot of fairly poor humour, and generally got on with presenting a game show. The new presenter, whatever his name is, is a bad replacement. No charisma, little talent, humourous ability of an egg, etc. Add to this the fact ...  Read the complete review

Catchphrase is a real family gameshow, where everyone can play along, even though its embarrassing when the kids beat you. Roy walker hosts the show, where two people are pitted against one another trying to guess the catchphrase which is acted out or displayed in some form or other on a giant screen, for each one correct they win cash and a ...  Read the complete review

I rememver the good old days of Catchphrase and have enjoyed some reruns on cable channels. I was therefore pleased to see it back on terrestrial ITV - that is until I watched it. It is not just a matter of missing Roy Walker. After all other shows have survived a change of presenter. No it is the change in format. It has gone all glitzy with ...  Read the complete review

What do you do with a successful format - a show that's watched by millions? You revamp it of course - more money (hooray), new naff presenter (boo). Why ditch Roy Walker? He was good, he had catchphrases, we all knew where we stood with him. Along comes a new presenter - you can't blame him, he just isn't Roy Walker - a ...  Read the complete review

Here is another show that has been washed with cheap American powder to make it 'more comfortable to the touch'. The result is a starchy, irritating and wishy-washy grey immitation of its original form. The host enters, charmless and immersed in his own ego, to get the show off to a rattling bad start. A few old jokes get the ...  Read the complete review

Come back Roy Walker all is forgiven!!! The new bloke whats his face is NOT funny nor has he any talent in any way, shape or form. Bring back Roy!

CATCHPHRASE One of my favourite quiz shows but what have they done with Roy?? Is he sitting at home trying to work out the answers to the catchphrases because if he is he won’t have many problems. Who I wonder is responsible for making these up as a young child could answer them. All right if you are one of the contestants, but ...  Read the complete review
