    Brilliant Quiz Show With Unique Format

    Love the format of this show. No matter how clever a contestant they're always potentially one fiendish question away from being eliminated. Rick Edwards does a great job of balancing questions with humour. Plenty of potential twists and a decent guaranteed cash prize every show unlike Pointless where the prize is dependent on how previous contestants have performed. The group who were on the week 6-10 August were particularly entertaining. Gutted when Reg didn't make the grid area. The idea of players being on all week means you can root for players and get to know them a little as the days go on. Great show - long may it reign!

    What is this?

    Turned on to watch the brilliant Pointless & some irritating, bog standard rubbish came on. Totally lacking in all areas. Won't be back until Pointless returns or something equally fun and interesting which requires some real knowledge.

    Dire

    As a Pointless fan I can't believe the BBC is airing this dull drivel in the 5:15 slot. Poor format, dreary host. Should be called "Unwatchable".

    Nowhere near good enough for the 5:15 slot

    The show is slow and uninteresting, viewers feel no need to engage with the questions, the host is bland and uncharismatic, and the music is unthematic, annoying, all over the place and frankly terrible. Now that it's clear that pointless on they out, I really hope this isn't the show the beeb decide to replace it with. 5:15 should be reserved for only the best gameshows, like The Weakest Link, or Pointless in its early years. Frankly, getting any enjoyment from this show is impossible

    Impossible

    Not a bad format from the BBC to fill their gameshow quota.

    Rick Edwards is as wooden a host as you could ever find though.
