If this week’s episode of Fifty 50 isn’t the best yet, it’s certainly right up there featuring Lewis Murphy chatting with David Bodycombe and myself about the recent UKGameshows/Bother’s Bar Poll of the Year results! Find out what which result we frankly don’t agree with, and also a dissection of MIPCOM Format OF THE YEAR The Bank Job,and why everyone going “it was a good format though” is wrong.
Also features a tremendously exciting game of 21 Questions Wrong. Most exciting game yet, for my money.
Amazing.

Ooh, excellent. I’ve not heard anything yet about when the episode I’m in is to be aired. I will let you know when I do.
Also you can go and see Beat the Pack being filmed, if that is something you would like to do:

Just watched Britain’s Brightest: Actual scoring for the all-still-in play games since… I’m not sure anyone’s actually mentioned it and there was some confusion over it early on:
12 for 1st
7 for 2nd
4 for 3rd
2 for 4th (0 in 4 player games)
1 for 5th (0 in 5 player games)
0 for last
With 0 for last taking priority over everything else (So in a 5 player game 0 is for 5th rather than 1) – Note that the episode in question was a three way tie in the five player game so it’s somewhat of an educated guess (all three got 2 points) 12 7 is definitely right throughout, 4 is third in both the six and four player games, and I know 0 is last in all games from previous weeks so I’m fairly confident it’s right.
This works quite well for the 6 player round, and not badly for the 5 player round, but oddly makes the difference between last and third more important than the difference between second and third in the Chair (4 point difference vs 3 point difference)
I’ve been reading that story as “Boulderdash” all along. I got excited that they were going to make Celebrity Repton.
That’s A Thing waiting to happen.
Daytime quizzes (inc +1):
The Chase – 4.10m (24.6%)
Pointless – 3.68m (21.0%)
Tipping Point – 2.17m (17.8%)
Perfection – 1.40m (12.8%)
Deal or No Deal – 1.15m (9.4%)
Countdown – 0.52m (6.2%)
Face The Clock – 0.39m (4.0%)
Also 2.65m (10.7%) for the primetime Millionaire repeat.
Quite something that Perfection is beating deal by so much. I wonder if viewers are starting to migrate to Q&A shows which tend to have more game content in them?
Anyone from these parts go to the Sky One pilot of ‘Take On The Nation’ last night? Could only see one review of it on Twitter:
“The pilot I’ve just endured was so poor I was literally yawning.”
No! I would have liked to but was unable. I ask on Twitter though.
