Been watching the older episodes currently being shown on the W channel on SKY. The questions seem to be a lot harder (especially first round) than they are now.
Surely they can't dumb it down more than it currently is

Katy isn't doing much to enhance the reputations of Essex girls.
She didn't even know of which city Brooklyn is a borough.

Didn't think much of Gareth's tactics in the head to head round. Why on earth did he persevere with zone 3 that had nothing near the top shelf tipping point?

If Paul hadn't been equally awful he would be on his home instead of in the final. If he doesn't improve his timing he won't go home with much.

The guy in the final has the most erratic timing I've ever seen. All over the place.

I agree with that. His timing throughout was terrible. He may have won the Jackpot had his timing in the final round been better resulting in fewer riders.

I actually turned off the channel yesterday during the 12pm show. Just couldnt stand that Divvy girl Erika the first time she was on with her stupid ooh's every time it was someones go.

When I watched it I thought is this a bloody kids edition asking a question about Incy Wincy bloody Spider.

I can't believe ITV have repeated this episode. The four contestants could hardly answer a question between them. In the head to head poor Roy didn't have a clue. His opponent, Tracy, wasn't much better but somehow she managed to take £1650 into the final round. Her problem is she has no one to pass the questions to now.

Somehow Tracy managed to get £3100 in the final then traded and lost the lot.

You have to admit, it's the stupidity of the contestants that gives TP the edge

To be fair, you had to be still watching children's TV in the 80's to have heard of her (I just Googled her to find out). Also, it was on ITV and not BBC, so a smaller audience.

I didn't watch this episode, but it seems you have little respect for people older than you, so just crawl back under your rock.

She's got £2400 before she even starts on the last round!

She got to £3350 and then took the trade and scooped the £10k on the final counter.

Ben got his enormous bear hug and everyone was happy.

Vivienne had a bit of luck but she also had impeccable timing when she dropped the counters. The only rider she got was when the Jackpot counter tipped over onto the bottom shelf and became a rider.

She was brave to gamble and well deserved her win.

Ben didn't fancy her much though. He was somewhat restrained when she won.

I thought it was a bloke in the final who went home with almost £5,000.
