I’m seeking solace in BBC2 away from the trick or treaters who have temporarily got bored of lighting up their sink estates like Kabul with five days to go. Pre firework night month round here is blasting old grannies time for sport with the box of Benwells.
What a pile of drivel this show is. Unemployment TV at its finest and most pointless. Anne Robinson against the dregs who couldn’t get on Millionaire rock up to Teddington for a good going over by the ex-lesbian, err journalist.

The trouble with daytime TV is that it’s made to be forgotten, and they have certainly perfected it here. I blame Henry Kelly for all this when he hosted that Euro Quiz show. But I don’t even want to go there trying to recall the name of that bomb.
I suppose when the red top red head gets bored of afternoon telly she will be moved on to bigger things. Or back on the bottle. Why not swap her with the other one from Watchdog, Janice Queer or what ever her nmae was.

OK, the Beeb needs a rival to the award winning Millionaire, but theres no need to use the same set, its sooo obvious darlings. Now ITV have trumped them with a spin of show called Shafted, which isn’t something Anne Robinson has had lately.

Ok its ironic and a bit of fun. But is it worth three and half million-production costs for a show that the best contestant hardly ever wins. Rehearsed put downs and churlish comments are not great TV.
You do get some bright contestants but you also get one who have done the quiz show circuit. These girls and guys are rung up by the shows to fill out contestant rosters. Pretty faces for quiz show spaces.

I have watched a couple of shows this week and here are some amazing questions and answers from some of the drongos who managed to get threw security.

ROBINSON Q)…. In which 1949 Ealing comedy does Alec Guinness play all eight members of a family.
Plymouth University student A)…..
The Dirty Dozen.

ROBINSON Q)…..What is the most abundant gas in the atmosphere.
Chubby housewife) A…Air.

Now if you have New University students and housewives on at 5-30pm,A, who’s picking up the kids and B who cancelled. I know theres time pressure, but The Dirty Dozen.Telly Savalas was in that movie!.
If the license payer is asked to invest big bucks to rival the brilliant Millionaire, cant we do better than this dribble.

Bring back the greats from Norwich.Gambit, John Junket and Nicholas Parsons in Sale of the Century.They don’t make them like they used to (thank God). What was your favorite quiz show off all time fellow dooyooers?.

I’m going to leave you with a mystery you may or may not have seen on the net.

Read this sentence below and tell me how many letter Fs you see.

>>>>>FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-<<<<<
>>>>>SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-<<<<
>>>>>IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE<<<<
>>>>>EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.

Read it again to confirm your total.

If you want to know the answer of how clever you are then come find me. Oh and if you scored less than three you should be on the show. Good isn’t it!.
