I got a majority of the wall links this week, which was quite a shock

Wait till you see what we did for the final...

Do the contestants have to contort themselves through holes shaped like Greek letters?

"BRING ON THE WALL!"

Just watched this week's ep on iPlayer, and noticed that the captain of the bookkeepers looked/sounded familiar. Then it dawned on me, he was the 'contestant' on Alex Zane's fake quiz on Balls of Steel, the Anne Frank expert who got very ratty when told she died in 1946.

That would be: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Rjbkau_xJw0

Last one of the heats on Monday night.

It's a pity it was prerecorded. Maybe next series for the second round she can shout it out

I like how the relatively easy (at least to my eyes and brain anyway) questions are the only ones I actually guess before the contestants... the anagrammed capital cities, the Indiana Jones titles, and the Professors! Really enjoy watching this show... hope I never accidentally end up as a contestant though!!!

I was most proud of getting the "Wheat..." one!

Wow, this is getting tough!!!

Please can you tell me how many episodes there are in the series? Last night's was ep.10. Thanks.

Last night was episode 9 of 15.

Wasn't last night the first QF?
If so there would be 3 more, then 2 SF then the Final.

Yes it was

Nice one, ta.

And Presentable, the company that produced this quiz was the same one that produced all those late night poker shows. It's all about connections...

Why did I put "ep.10" there when I meant ep.9. Only just realised I put that, even though I've since written another reply since. Must've been a long day.

It's a knockout competition with 16 teams, so yes - 15 episodes. I think the final's on December 22nd.

Glad I'm not the only one really enjoying this series!!

I also stumbled upon this game show by accident. At last an intelligent game show with a naturally good presenter, no loud music or over kill on flashy tacky lighting and big it up music. Just a quiet knowledge game show and very informative. It is worthy of a decent BBC 2 slot and time.
Fortunately for me it is also on the catch up service.

Thanks for your nice comments!

If you haven't already done so, please let the BBC know you like the show, as a second series isn't in the bag yet:

Done. And my absolute pleasure to do so.

Also done! (I want to appear on the second series - but I would have endorsed the show anyway as I love it!)

If you need anyone on your team DC let me know

Done, with pleasure. I stumbled across the show by accident and really enjoy it. (Have even surprised myself by getting a lot of the answers! )

Just done the same myself. I've also suggested a BBC2 repeat for the series. It's the kind of intelligent show I'd remember my parents watching in the 80s and, perhaps, early 90s, and while at least my Dad will never find it on BBC4 even if I tell him where to look, I know that a BBC2 showing around 8pm would be perfect.

(Edit: I once got an answer right that the team onscreen didn't! gloat-smiley )

I suggested putting it on a Saturday evening on BBC1, in the HITW slot!
