Would I Lie to You?

Another poor excuse for entertainment by channel 10. I'm guessing the success of the British version along with the use of 'talent' already contracted to ch10 (i.e. Cheap to produce) looked appealing to them. The problem is, as others have mentioned, that the hosts and most of the guests of this version have none of the wit or comedy talent of Rob Brydon, Lee Mack and David Mitchell. This show is a poor imitation of a show that didn't need imitating.

The first episode was better than expected. It is hard not to compare to the UK version, but they did alright. Some of the stories were very good, and it's always easy to laugh at Frank Woodley.

I'm not sure about the length though. The UK version is 30 minutes, this was over an hour (counting ads). I think the show works better when kept shorter.

26 million people in Australia and all we can make is a franchize of a great british show, and do it poorly, even with Ross Noble roped in from the UK. No one else on the show has even a fraction of the wit and intellect of the UK cast. As for Carrie Bickmore.............just...........WHY???

Please Australian creatives, please do something original substantial and professional.

What has Rob Brydon and Chrissy Swan have in common? Nothing. Rob Brydon is talented and comedic. I do not watch anything on TV that C grade Chrissy Swan is on. My favourite UK TV game show and what does Channel 10 do? Well they Chrissy Swan it. WTF? So who is Chrissy Swan? Well, those who do not know and you shouldn't know, Chrissy Swan was a Big Brother contestant 20 years ago. For some stupid reason she's been on TV and radio since. No personality, no talent, Just irritating. Come on Channel/Paramount +, do you not want people to watch locally produced TV shows? Literally anyone else could host this show and be watchable. Someone in the vain of Bydon's talent, and then you have a show.

With a couple of notable exceptions - Barry Humphries and Hanna Gadsby - Australian comedians lack the intellectual depth to be truly funny and nowhere is it more apparent than in this version of the much loved English show. The sad truth is one does not have to be very talented to make a living on the Aussie comedy circuit or on TV. It's dad jokes and light-weight toilet humour all the way with this show which is a satire snd irony free zone. Even the writing is inane.
