Episode one: “Oh, Blockbusters<\/em>!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Episode two: “Oh, Blockbusters<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baffling remake of the 80s and 90s daytime classic now in its fifth reincarnation, truly making it the Annie Wilkes of gameshows. At least they’ve upped the money to \u00a320 a question rather than cheekily keeping it a fiver like the last iteration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new version features Dara O’Briain (because of course it does), attention seeking sixth-formers and “millennial humour”. Doubtless an ironic handjive as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this brings in a young audience then good for them. Do you know I’m 37 these days? I can’t keep doing this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
