This is the first time I've watched this ... not again. They've either picked the biggest eejits around or it's a fix as I wasn't at all convinced with all their dithering. Either way I won't be bothering. Only watched it as there's naff all else on tonight as not a fan of BGT. Moan over!>:(:D
You only have two television channels? You poor thing.
It's a shoddily made programme. Almost shoddy enough for ITV. For example, seeing as it's time specific, and (supposedly) they need to pack in as many questions as possible before the deadline, why not only leave Winton to wheeze his way on aimlessly, and then invite someone to sing far too much of a song??? Farcical. But I don't go with any conspiracy theories - it's actually quite reassuring to think that genuinely bright people wouldn't be seen dead applying for such a woeful show. So what you're left with is what you see. Thick-skinned, thick-headed idiots.
Officially, it's La Rambla. It is made up of what may be considered shorter streets, from north to south:
Rambla de Canaletes
Rambla dels Estudis
Rambla de Sant Josep
Rambla dels Caputxins
Rambla de Santa Mònica
and consequently it is sometimes referred to in the plural, Las Ramblas.

Thank you, Brain of Britain. ;-). You should be on IITWI.

It is not time specific, the maximum prize is £100,000 (20 correct answers). Every wrong answer loses £5,000 from the potential pot.

Nothing I fancied on any of the channels much so this was the last resort - very last as it turned out - and I'd already watched a recorded film earlier - Troll Hunter - which wasn't much better. Rotten night's viewing ... for me anyway.
I said that the show was a shambles. It used to be much better and the winnings were much higher a while ago. Dale pads the show out a lot (perhaps he is told to waste time). I told them that as it's the last in the series next week, the general consensus of opinion on this website is that is should be axed. They have just replied and are looking into it. They will get back to me.

That's such total tosh. My family and I have always laughed at this programme and the stupid people who go on it. The quality of the contestants is no better or worse than it's always been.
And Dale has *always* waffled. Again, it's no different now.
It's actually quite nice, in a way, to see a normal gameshow where the contestants aren't people who spend most of their evenings lost in a quiz book. This sums up the typical knowledge of normal people. Most of them aren't very interested in history, literature, science etc.
I watched last night's program away from the computer, thankfully. A bigger collection of thicko's would have been hard to find.
I'm sure Dale prodded the bloke in the back who won the money. (Not like that missus)

Where exactly does Dale prod the guy in the back?? I've just had a look back at it on iPlayer, and Dale never gets even close to making contact with him. Nor does the chap seem to be taking cues from somebody in the audience - as somebody else here suggests. He glances at somebody to his right after he's answered, and seems to grin at them afterwards, but that could easily just have been somebody in the audience giving him a thumbs up or something...
If that really was a conspiracy, they would probably have made it look rather smoother than that.. Or maybe they would simply have given him an easy question, such as asking him about somebody from Tudor history and then making two of the three answers quite obviously wrong.... I mean, how could anyone go astray there...

Totally agree with the first two paragraphs.
Disagree with the third paragraph. People should be picking up bits of general knowledge just through being alive. I would have thought people who apply to be on this are fans of quiz shows and should pick up bits of knowledge from that....

....and they certainly should have enough knowledge not to say that Mary, Queen of Scots was executed in 1887. You've never heard of Queen Victoria? You don't know she was the monarch for most of the 1800s? You think it was she who executed Mary, Queen of Scots?:o

Trend of the week. That was hilarious.
This was hilarious too.
Peaky Blinders was not really mainstream and easy to have missed.
This programme may have been recorded further back than that.
I had to mute that.
A boy sang on Blockbusters in 1983. I was so traumatised by the embarrassment that, to this day, I can't face contestants singing.

He's not stupid enough.
Just as well there were a lot of wrong answers. If they had more time, she might have done a full set.

That'll show 'em.
It is time specific, otherwise you'd still be watching the wretched thing.
It's edited so that the klaxon goes 30 minutes after the programme starts. Just add-in or take-out bits of chit-chat to fit.

Agreed. It is not any different than before. I really don't know what people are seeing

If that's true, there isn't much hope for this country!
Well, personally I am shocked by the lack of general knowledge of those around myself.
