Mark Williams is a very strange choice to host this new quiz show on BBC 1 now. He looks like professor Plum and seems very awkward.

    Really? Is it a brand new show or done before with someone else? They didn't advertise it very well.

    Think it's a brand new game.

    It was filmed at pacific quay in Glasgow. That one was the 29th march. We seen 2 getting filmed and we will be used as the audience for a third.

    Hehe it's not too bad actually. The second episode took forever though as the contestants were rubbish.

    Going to see break the safe being filmed next week.

    This is appalling. And why is the host dressed so strangely?

    These young guys are quite knowledgable. Mark Williams is appalling.

    Is Mark Williams in costume or are those his actual clothes?

    He keeps pausing when he's talking like he's forgetting what to say next

    How did Andy and Mike win if they only won £2,800 and the other guys had over £3,000?

    I do think it is this. You can see him reading he's lines. He is dreadful.

    This is truly awful.

    I thought it was just me. You would think he would have rehearsed reading the auto cue before presenting. They should have got an experienced TV presenter.

    They cut the links on their cash first.

    All that for £750?! I thought this was 2014 not 1975! *roll eyes*

    Also, the sound on my TV kept fading out. Did that happen for anyone else?

    That's stupid. They should be allowed to carry it forward into the next round.

    Didn't happen to me but it does happen a lot on shows I'm watching when the background music suddenly becomes louder.

    Oh dear. That wasn't wonderful. :( I like Mark Williams (love Father Brown) and I could see him presenting some other comedy quiz thing, after a bit of experience, but not this. All the over the top graphics did my head in too. I'll be giving this one a miss unfortunately.

    No. The lads with £800 cut their links first so they got into the final. The chaps with £3875 didn't answer enough questions correctly to cut all their links first so they were knocked out.

    My God, that first round was like wading through treacle in a pair of wellington boots! :D

    Also, can't see why they win so much in the first and second rounds and then play for such a pi$$ poor amount in the final round - would think that they would play for what they earnt in the earlier rounds or at least a larger sum in the final round! :o

    Like Mark Williams though - he'll forever be Ron Weasley's dad to me!

    Oh and can someone on this quiz, please remember to give the 'Your both back in play' line, back to Stephen Mulhern over on Catchphrase, when they've finished with it! ;-)

    Exactly. They win nearly 4 grand in the 1st round then forfeit it all in the next round. It doesn't make sense.
