6pm Sunday is an unusual timeslot for such a big money quiz with a big name host (it’s Dara). We have our doubts about it, but it’s dangerous to bet against King of Daytime Hugh Rycroft.
Edit: sorry got a bit overexcited, it’s 13th March not this coming Sunday. Apols.
Also great news for fans of the theme tune for Lightning! The new series begins March 14th on BBC2.
Does it start this Sunday then?
Yes.
Can’t see it this week on the Sky EPG and tvguide.co.uk suggests it’s Sunday 13 November?
It’s literally on All 4’s TV Guide. https://www.channel4.com/tv-guide/2022/03/13
You may need to scroll back to get to 6pm.
If you spotted that was 13th March not 6th March, award yourself a Shiny.
Where did I get November from?!? Meant Feb obv.
Meant March. Geez! Brain’s really not working
The Friends Like These pilot was filmed last night, my sister and her husband went. She said it was a long record but actually a lot of fun. Will try and get more info
Ooh great! Yes please.
Different question: does anyone remember the announcement of a quiz called something like “Knock Off A Nought”? Memory suggests it was going to appear on Sound TV, the short-lived mid-’00s variety TV channel, however my search engine skills are insufficient to find any mention of it, so it might have been a hallucination. (At least at this hour.)
Yes very much so, meant to be hosted by Mike Osman.
Surely with Richard Osman as the, er, richardosman. (I also like the thought that there is no more surviving information about this show on the Web other than us talking about it – or, I suppose, via the Internet Archive.)
While I’m still waking up after last night’s night shift, are there game shows which have done the “no relation” gag by featuring unrelated people with the same surname?
Saw a trailer for this during Gogglebox and it almost looks like they struggled to find anything from the show to actually put in it?! I don’t know how to explain it. But this combined with the weird timeslot makes me think it’s going to be pretty awful.
The glimpses of the set made it look like a typical ‘it’s a C4 quiz show so it can’t look like a normal quiz show’ set – i.e. looking more like a quirky, brightly coloured meeting room or something rather than anything that says ‘entertainment show’.
Didn’t realise daytime quiz shows were getting the Grant Mitchell treatment. Ross Kemp hosting Bridge of Lies from Mon 14th March, given the 4.30pm slot.
