The Wheel

This bit of fluff is makes reasonable entertainment that I, my mother and grandmother can enjoy.

Macintyre can be a bit much, but he is perfectly cast here, as our guide where responds impeccably to the apparently not funny things the contestants say.

The tone is bombastic and deliberately silly which you just have to be in the mood for. They don't waste time though: there's always someone I have heard of in the celebrity line-up and the questions are usually pretty gettable but of course there is so much I don't know!

The random element of the contestants casts a shadow over the show. Maybe they could have a fastest finger type thing?

It gives irritating (and common) possibility of someone raising all the money themselves and then someone else just takes it at the last.

Often they greedily try and double it and I so want to see them lose everything.

Sentimental and low-brow, sometimes that is just what the doctor ordered.

I get a masochistic joy at seeing the remarkable ignorance of celebrities and the general public.

Could of a bit faster, but apart from that, it's great. The host can be funny (unpopular opinion) and it's a fun show to tune in to. Granted, it is a bit cheesy.

The only reason people watch this is because there is nothing else to do. An hour of spinning people around and around when we only get about 10 or so questions, with a possibility of no questions being asked for far too long with the ridiculous shutdown feature. Quite frankly The Wheel is a dull waste of time and money when it ought to be much better. Avoid.

It's a quiz show. In one long dreary hour it gets to about 6 questions over which the contestant agonises with the "celebrity". Spinning a wheel with people sitting in a circle like on a fairground ride whilst playing Christmas pop songs to determine who to pair with etc is slow, time consuming and adds nothing to the game. Seen one, won't bother with another. Just because Michael Mcintyre hosts this show doesn't make it fun. Stick with the stand-up Michael, we don't need him on everything

The majority of this show is just watching minor celebrities spinning on a wheel.if it wasn't for that waste of time you could condense this down to about 11 minutes.

By the end of the show it made me cringe every time I heard - Spin the wheel...
