Another game show hosted by a comedian in the hope it will generate some humour, and another format from another country being desperately repacked to make it try and work over here.
Neither works well here.

Right, what is going on in with Adil Ray, he's in sitcoms, he's presenting GMB, and now he's hosting this awful game show?
Adil Ray, funny, clever, and smart, but a presenter, just no, what a waste of his talents.
This is another in the line of terrible quiz shows, nothing new seems to hold a candle to the likes of The Chase and The Weakest link.
The hope is when you watch some of these shows you may learn something, I fear this will encourage the loss of cells. Really though, it's not good. 2/10.
Adil please put your talents to good use, your way better than this.

I cannot for the life of me understand how the heck Adil Ray keeps getting on the tele - unnatural, unfunny, untalented and unlikable making the entire thing unwatchable.
I could imagine Stephen mulhern hosting this and the show being amazing, but we have Adil Ray who unfortunately wasn't able to show his comedic abilities in this and was a bit boring. Hate to admit it. Although considering schools were shut whilst this aired this was a useful tool as an English lesson for teaching children new vocabulary while being fun too, for them at least. I know enough but I don't express it here haha.
Overall, a really good show but it could've been better. AND ALSO ITS SO ANNOYING WHEN THE WORD POPS UP AND YOU DONT GET IT BECAUSE ITS ALWAYS EXTREMELY OBVIOUS. Happened to me tonnes and I needed to express my anger about that haha.

The show would be great to play along to if not for one of the most annoying hosts on TV (only other equally annoying is Ben Sheppard). Adil Ray stands there annoyingly holding his hand out like some kind of professor presenting a powerpoint on string theory and repeats the same exact phrase of "unlucky" whenever a contestant fails to guess their word! Change it up a bit you ANNOYING DONKEY! Another super annoying trait is him coming up with super annoying quips of the words they guess. For example if their guess is the word "Right" this muppet will 100% announce "is this the 'right' answer??" This happens 99% of the time and combined with his donkey like laugh and failed attempts at witty charisma makes it unbearable to watch!
