Celebrity Catchphrase

You can make quite a good career as a fading celebrity on ITV just appearing on all the 'celeb' versions of their gameshows.

It's the same faces popping up again and again.

This is another tired reboot of an old show.

When ITV revived Catchphrase in 2013 with Stephen Mulhern as presenter, it was a breath in fresh air and was nice to see one of my favourite game shows return for a new generation. Shortly afterwards they began having celebrity editions which were decent, too. That is until they decided to focus exclusively on this demographic now.

Like, sure enough, the format remains the same and there ARE some genuinely funny moments... but most of the time it's celebrities treating the show like it's a comedy and deliberately getting the answers wrong for the sake of laughter. The Catchphrases are still amusing, and unintentionally laugh riots; i.e. Dicing with Death.

As I said in the title, it's not the worst celebrity game show, but it's certainly not the best. And I say that loosely because most celebrity versions of game shows are terrible.
