This is on at 4:30pm on BBC2. I won’t be able to watch it until later, but feel free to leave your thoughts.<\/p>\n
Edit: <\/strong>Watched it now. What do I think? (Here’s a link to Martyn’s recording review from July<\/a>)<\/p>\n Well I think it’s alright actually. The game works on a technical level (although it’s interesting that short of attaining perfection, the single player’s best chance would appear to be getting precisely two right and two wrong as it makes working out the correct answers through elimination more difficult)\u00a0and it moves at a\u00a0fair old pace. The risky negotiation bit at the end feels quite unique and clever even if it’s a mishmash of other things. 45 minutes of it is probably a bit much – it’d probably work better as a slightly extended 30 minute game. I’m not entirely certain why the single player shouldn’t be allowed to go back and change answers within the time allowed. And there’s probably a better way of revealing the correct answers that logic already tells us are correct anyway.<\/p>\n The 12 Yard polish is probably to the show’s detriment, it lacks a certain warmth. Many shows work on a technical level, to actually be popular and well liked in daytime these days I think you need to be able to engage with it and I’m not sure what Perfection<\/em>‘s “in” is. Still, it would make a good home game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is on at 4:30pm on BBC2. I won’t be able to watch it until later, but feel free to leave your thoughts.
