Further to my earlier post: I commented that
Tarrant was on yet another show,and was
taken wrongly,I don't dislike him for the most
part.
BUT...have looked ahead at the other 'celebs'
and I'm afraid it's really scaping the barrel with
people like Andi Peters and gawd help us,Jeremy
Kyle.Michelle Collins is on it at least three times,
(presumably to scare the children?) So it remains
a no go,no watch show for me!

Anybody else still watching this (and mostly enjoying despite its flaws) or is it just me?

Watched it once and thought it was terrible.

Tarrant was insufferable. Jane McDonald looked embarrassed. Ricky Tomlinson seemed to be on medication.

The team of telly addicts were useless.

Overall ot was a poor show

Its a shocker, the problems for me lie with the host, he hurrys to an incorrect or correct answer, its really hurried.

worst TV I have seen in a long time, pure dribble. I now switch over,
ANY CHANNEL HAS BETTER THINGS ON THAN THIS SHITE.

This could easily work with two teams of public Vs each other, no need for Celebs!

The game is ok for day time, though without all the waffle it could be 30mins!

Is it a canned audience? I never saw any audience tickets being advertised for this.

I'm surprised Chris Tarrant has stooped so low!

The show is ok for me, but they do seem to have the same celebs on each show (Michelle Collins, Denise Van Outen, Ricky Tomlinson, Nicky Campbell etc)

Tarrant mugging for the camera is so annoying. The shows bad enough as it is, but he's just making it worse. I find most of the 'legends' (as they're inexplicably known) awful to watch tbh.

No expense spared in tarting up the presenter or celeb guests.

Bacon looks rough, does he realise it's a TV show not radio?

Tarrant, appears to be wearing extra large shirts to conceal his bulge, are they a bulk purchase from Primark? It's not clear if they've spent money getting celebs or the celebs are doing it as a favour.

I can see it moving to prime time 8pm Tuesdays.

I'm enjoying it, but then it's the only quiz on TV when I actually have a chance of knowing the answers

Am I the only person who quite enjoyed it?? I liked how relaxed it was, nice easy viewing.
nope..I'm actually enjoying it. It's a change from all the usual quizzes at this time. It's worth experimenting, but I think it's in the wrong time slot. Could be a 5pm sunday evening show really...it's laid back, doesn't take itself seriously and has some good clips.

Is Richard Bacon's accent for real. He pronounced Sooty Sutty and Butcher with a but sound at the beginning. I can't explain very well. I already mentioned bah-bye.

yep...listen to him on the radio..he does the same thing. He comes from somewhere around Nottingham apparently and he still has some of the accent...

Well I've come onto here just a while ago.....put the TV on for a bit of background drivel as you do. I've got this show on (never seen it before....) It looks quite fun anyway! Love Ricky Tomlinson and Jane MacDonald anyway. Richard Bacon ain't a bad presenter anyway! (There's a lot worse out there)

I've never heard an accent like that before. I'm sure I've met people from Nottingham too.

So they've got the same guests on again?

How many different guests are there?

Think I would have just preferred ITV to buy the rights to Telly Addicts and hire Noel Edmonds.

Tarrant is soooo desperate to win, its insufferable viewing. What an annoying man.

He's "playing the role" if you like. Not annoying at all.

One of the best shows I have ever seen.

I hope they get a new series

Tipping point - one of the worst shows I have ever seen. Presented by the charisma free zone that is ben Shepard.

Bacon has charisma, Shepard does not. Bacon is intelligent. Shepard is as thick as a brick.

When Shepard presented the krypton factor, gordon burns must have span in his grave, even though he isn't even dead.

I quite liked this quiz.
I'm not that keen on Richard Bacon but at least ITV used a different host for a change - it's better than that Twisters thing that was on a while back, anyway!!
