Thanks for all of your Poll of the Year votes! Look out for the STAR-STUDDED live reveal and write-up soon. I can say that numbers were well up on last year so I will look forward to collating everything in the next few days.

Thanks also to everybody who voted in the Bother’s Bar Game Night Awards as well, you’ll be seeing what’s going on with that soon. I can’t believe How Much Is The Thing? only got a single vote though.

Show Discussion: Paul Sinha’s TV Showdown

Saturdays, 10pm,
ITV

To be honest I’m not expecting much lively discussion for this, it’s basically a panel show by the looks of things albeit one where it might get competitive.

It does mark though, I believe, the first time Paul has fronted his own TV show and it feels surprising that it’s taken someone this long with a stand-up comedy background as well as a considerable quiz following to be given a format – although we can’t rule out the possibility that he might have turned things down behind the scenes. At least he gets a third coloured suit to be on TV with now.

The press release promises a “quiz with a difference” and if that difference is anything other than “it’s Telly Addicts… but with celebrities!” we’ll be surprised and shocked. We bloody loved Telly Addicts back in the day though, so that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Let us know what you think in the comments.
