Would I Lie to You?

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.

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.

As per comment title. Cannot understand how they would go for a riskier hour vs half hour running time. It makes the fact that the show sux even more obvious. Corporate Australia can no longer hire INSPIRED people it seems. Its all the usual yes people wankers.

We certainly have talent, its just going unnoticed by the decision makers. Australia seems to be deadlocked in either boomerville crap or soul deadening reality TV (MAFS for starters).

Did no one test screen this?

The original is absolute comedy gold.

Australian host has no personality no comic timing. Get someone funny and quick witted Kitty Flanagan would be great or Shaun Micallef,

Cast look laboured held back , uk version flows and is hilarious.

Ross Noble steals the show only laughs in episode. Chris Taylor is great with scripted comedy but doesn't have the timing or quick fire for the regular team leader.

Australia has the comic talent but aren't shining here.

This is a poor imatation.

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.
