Mildly Diverting Thing Update

I really like TV Ark, I’ve wasted literally countless hours wading through its archives. Really far too many hours. But anyway.

They’ve updated some of their gameshow section, two things of particular interest:

  • 1985 Telly Addicts titles – I remember the Paynes, but I don’t remember that look!
  • One False Move – hosted by Andy Craig for BSB and has a theme tune in a very similar style to Everybody’s Equal. Does anyone know much about this? UKGameshows.com draws a blank.
  • The Great Egg Race! Can someone lobby BBC4 for a repeat of those repeats of TGER with pop-up video style facts and new intros from Prof. Heinz Wolff that was on BBC Choice? Thanks.

These can be found here.

Not much

There’s not much happening, is there?

New competition starting soon. May throw up an old feature this evening.

The Board of Excitement is stuff I’m looking forward to this week. I forgot to do it yesterday.

  • Big Brother US (Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday CBS) – well that shocking twist lasted long, didn’t it? The saboteur twist might have been fun, but it was also a bit too stage managed for my liking – wouldn’t it have been more fun just to let the housema…sorry, house guests discover the food cupboard had been padlocked, rther than have it spelled out for thick people by an electronically enhanced voiced mystery silhouette on the big screen?
  • Fort Boyard 2010 ep 3 (Saturday, France 2, Monday, The internet) – not seen episode 2 yet.

Well here we are at episode two, the first one split the fanbase quite considerably. What will tonight have in store?

Several new things promised tonight if last week’s preview was anything to go by, including the welcome return after an eighteen-year sabbatical for Ball On A Plank! Brilliant.

Tangentally, Mission Milennium started on France 3 last week, although I’ve not been able to get the video for it working.
