Weeknights, 6:30pm,
BBC2
New series of cozy post Richard Osman quizzing hosted by the unlikely pairing of Vernon Kay and Paul Gorton off of The Traitors. Every night across a week, three celebs (in week one it’s Anneka Rice, Shane Todd and DJ Remi Burgz) are asked to sort fact from fiction about different places in the UK (week one includes Whitby, Cardiff, Bolton, Jedburgh and Coleraine), in a bid to see who knows the UK best, presumably. Vernon hosts from the studio, Paul has been out and about doing the VTs.
How much more there is to the show remains to be seen – maybe its simplicity will be enough. Let us know what you think in the comments.
Is it just me who has heard absolutely nothing about this programme in the run up to it being on?! This is literally the first I’ve heard of it which seems unusual in an age of so few new formats launching.
I’ve seen barely anything for it, I presume Vernon’s mentioning it every five minutes on his Radio 2 show. I always found Paul to be quite… divisive on The Traitors so is either an unusual or brilliant choice for this (or both). It might be quite a useful bridge between House of Games and Celebrity Puzzling.
