A list of all the apps I’ve reviewed over the last few years is here, although some of them aren’t sold any more, which is a bit aggravating. I wonder why the Crystal Maze app was taken off? Here is my exciting press quote for the Fort Boyard app, and here is the review it actually comes from.

Also! 1001 Things You Should Know began a new series today, although it’s not on 4oD yet for some reason. Anyway, they’ve got rid of the numbering and it sounds like the leading contestant decides the categories for all the contestants for the final, by the sounds. May as well use the original Show Discussion post for it.

Challenge TV have bought up Knightmare, and they’ll be showing series one and two from Friday 10th May at 10:30pm. Which is immediately after series one (I think) Fun House! Wow.

I’ve had people enquire about The Line Up, it’s happening eventually, I’m just a bit busy. Think of it as having a Sommerpause.

New content! I’ve done a feature on Cash Crash for you.

But that’s not all! Yesterday we watched Opdenhovel’s Countdown (some fun ideas, but I don’t love the reformatting I don’t think). And after that we chanced across the German lottery show on ARD. And it’s Music From Pages From Ceefax-tastic!

Nice.

Don’t forget it’s Game Seven of the BSOP this evening at 8pm and it’s open to anyone who fancies a game regardless of if they’ve got a chance to win the league or not. $5.50 is the stake, so come and join us!

Yes, the episodes of Tipping Point on during April/May 2013 are repeats. The third series films soon.

We’re going to have a feature on the recently comissioned (in Germany) Cash Crash for you this weekend, and on Sunday night it’s game seven of the BSOP -as it warms up outside, it’s warming up on the felt. It’s open to anyone who wants to play and is willing to stake the $5.50 stake, so come and join us.

Are you:

• Free on Friday morning?
• Can easily get to Central London?
• Willing to do a runthrough for a new quiz in front of execs?

Producer Tom Hopgood is looking for 15 people for a runthrough in Central London on Friday morning. If you’re interested, mail him. Edit: Expenses covered if within the M25.

Hey everyone it’s another EXCITING episode of Fifty 50, this week it’s a TALENT SHOW SPECIAL featuring David Howell talking to Lewis Murphy. Also features another exciting game of 21 Questions Wrong, enjoy it before they start doing it officially on telly hosted by someone from Made in Chelsea, inevitably.

So new Catchphrase. It’s OK! It’s like someone’s done a tracing of the original but with thick marker pen, so it’s lost some of the definition but is still basically Catchphrase.

Hey, why not “join the discussion” as they’d say on BBC News 24 or something, we’re having a chat about it here.

One thing that strikes me as being slightly odd about the show is its fascination of mazes in it’s opening title sequences despite the show having nothing to do with them, the original of which still is the best:
