So here’s some fun spotted on the Discord last night. Non-hit Survivor UK, which was casting for a POTENTIAL second series and was due to close its inbox for applications next Friday, has mysteriously shut early – it’s disappeared from the BBC site, and the online portal has a message suggesting it’s closed/paused. Two possible reasons off the top of my head, perhaps you can think of more:

• They had so many incredible applications already, for a show that was barely watched, they thought they’d end it there and then as there’s no need for anyone else to apply.
• It’s done.

Option two seems more likely than option one, but who knows? Perhaps there’s a last ditch pivot to Celebrity Survivor happening.

Ahhhh! We were desperate to find a video of this a year previously when the first series of The Traitors came out, so we’re thrilled an episode of 2004’s Traitor hosted by ex-Sunday Sport editor Tony Livesey has turned up, the BBC’s first attempt at the Werewolf-style game which ran for a sort of pilot run of five-episodes back in the days when the BBC were happy to try all sorts of things out in the 6pm slot. Evidently didn’t get anywhere, little did anyone know almost twenty-years later…

We’ve been and gone! Watch the video below for a 90 minute results and discussion round-up, or you can head to UKGameshows.com for the written report.

Thanks to everyone who voted, all the statistics feature under the cut.

Because lots of it is about to appear on iPlayer.

Join us here and on Youtube for the Poll of the Year 2023 results – LIVE! Sunday at 8pm. Anything could happen, especially as I haven’t used XSplit for about a year.

If you want more LIVE stuff, there’s not one but TWO Schlag den Stars across the next two Saturday nights, we will hopefully be watching in the Discord from 7:15pm.

This launched to no apparent fanfare or advertising on Friday on Prime, this Irish take on the Documental format sees comedians battle it out to make each other laugh whilst not laughing themselves and risking elimination. Graham Norton’s hosting.

Anyone watched it yet?

[Sidenote: we’re currently arranging a date for the Poll Results, so look out for one very soon.]
