    Sue is a riot

    As are the two team captains. Two of those three are quite bright and knowledgeable, and they are all good at self-effacing humor. It's impossible for women to get a break from male viewers, who suffer from and impose suffering with their unconscious sexism, but Sue is every bit as good as Stephen Fry was as a fact/comedy panel show presenter. Sorry if that makes your tiny little things shake and threaten to fall off, fellas, but she is.

    It's kind of a bad QI with a more structured theme.

    I love British panel shows but this one was a bit of a mess. Sue is a fantastic host but I can't help but think this is almost an exact copy of QI with a different theme and too many panel guests. A lot is going on and and I'm confused as to whether or not I'm watching an informational show or a comedy show, and I think tipping the scales into comedy makes it a bit scattered. Also as an American, it's a bit boring because I don't know who any of the people are that they are discussing trivia about.

    Pointless

    I sat through this appalling British "comedy" panel game show as it immediately preceded a very good Aussie drama series, Glitch.

    Ten minutes in I decided to register with IMDb so I could rate it a 1 and warn people how bad it is.

    It's similar in format to QI, with two teams of 3 "celebrities", but unlike that show it has no redeeming qualities. The premise is completely pointless, being to determine which of a list of people named Frank, is the best one. It should never have been made, let alone inflicted on the viewing public.

    Wordless boredom

    There are no words for how pointless this show is - there are endless more enjoyable ways to waste time!
