Jeff Stelling returns with a new run of the alphabet-based quiz which promised lots of questions and nothing but, and yet when it came to the end game managed to ask not enough questions and proved impossible to win – not because of difficulty of the questions per se, because the contestants didn’t have enough time to go through them all.<\/p>\n

Hopefully they’ve amended that or there will be no chance of a third run – audiences will accept difficulty, they won’t accept being inherently unwinnable – the Spanish show goes months without a winner but that’s not because of the clocks.<\/p>\n

Hopefully they’ve stopped asking people to say “alphabetical” instead of “pass”.<\/p>\n

On the plus side the jackpot has rolled over from last series so there’s a big wedge of cash to be won, and if you still want lots of questions you will probably get your wish.<\/p>\n

Better than series one?<\/a> No different? Let us know in the comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
