Enquiring minds need to know.

Bonus question for D Peake or G Male: In the title sequence of Accumulate! there’s a round of Speculate to Accumulate going on with the answers shown as ‘Floods’, ‘November’, and finally ‘Accumulate’. What was the question? Also please use “you lost, you chost” next series please thanks.

More Wipeout season three dripfeeding.

Quite difficult to make out what’s on the screens this time though. Roll-on the Summer.

Time’s almost up for the 2009 Poll! Make sure you get your votes in by Sunday! It is unbelievably nip and tuck between two shows in the Golden Fiver, and the hunt to make the top five in the other categories is very tight.

And may as well give it a front page berthing, Accumulate! Is! Back! For the first semi-final.

Plus! I’m taking requests for the next batch of old Weekend Specials to go up at the weekend. We will start doing new features again soon as well.

New! I’ll promote this to the front page, because it’s fun. Chris M Dickson writes:

A friend suggests the next great Twitter game: #gameshowfilms – film titles adapted to include game show titles – and starts us off with Catchphrase Me If You Can. Can we do better? My contribution is SpiderMan O Man, or perhaps Austin Powers in Going for Goldmember.

I’m convinced you won’t beat Y Briodas Fawr-ther of the Bride, but you’re welcome to try.

Were you one of those people who who were constantly surprised about John and Edward doing quite well in The X Factor, wondering how a mildly entertaining act was getting higher votes than, for example, Rikki? Were you one of those people who genuinely believed John and Edward were going to win, despite the fact all the comedy acts tend to get eliminated towards the end every year, and the official results suggested they were never really in the running anyway?

Christ, you must feel like a MASSIVE idiot.

More importantly, Vanilla Ice wants to release Ice Ice Baby as a collaboration with J and E, truly it will be the most important collaboration since 5ive and Queen’s We Will Rock You.

The Krypton Factor down to 3m last night apparently, that’s not much of a drop off. I predict if it stays above 2.5m it’s probably safe, what with its ABC1s and communists-who-won’t-watch-things-with-adverts-in audience. That is my professional industry opinion.

Meanwhile, what has happened to Accumulate!, hmm? We were promised new episodes after Christmas, it’s getting as bad as that 22 second gap between “the winner of The X Factor is…” and a name being read out.

Meanwhile, Endemol are now casting for 101 Ways to Leave a Gameshow. You can decide for yourself as to whether this is a hilarious viral or not.

Also! Lost in TV are doing tickets for The Cube, both UK and Saudi Arabian versions! Exciting.
