    questions

    Great show, brilliantly hosted by Rick, cant understand people who say he is wooden! If anybody is wooden, its armstrong and osman on pointless, their efforts at jokes or humour are pathetic, rick, by contrast, has a very dry wit and handles lots of contestants very well. Also they all have a genuine chance of winning £10,000 each day, but in pointless the prize money is pitiful, you would need at least 10 shows to get a chance at 10,000. One thing i would like to know, how does Rick know all the answers without referring to any notes or tablets? He must either remember them or have them fed through an earpiece. Anyone know the answer to that?

    Poor

    Pity the poor producers of this show, lumbered with expectation after the genius concept of Pointless, they've scored an inevitable miss here. The presenter has zero charisma, which suffers further by being spread so thinly over so very many contestants. But the real problem is the game format. The basic law of quiz shows is that there are right answers and wrong answers, bringing in 'possible' and 'impossible' ones makes for a very woolly, unrewarding game, that doesn't reinvent the word like 'pointless' did. It just kind of sounds dumb.

    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.

    Absolutely LOVE it!

    First off, I truly adore trivia games! I like them to move at a consistent pace, and I like a variety of trivia. I love a variety of levels within a game. This totally ticks all of the boxes! I love to not only guess the right answer but to also guess the impossible answer. I just watched two shows for the first time today, and I had no knowledge of it before (I'm American). I like the host , who seems very natural and comfortable in his roll, and I like the way they have a panel of contestants in the beginning and then go through the process of elimination. Would highly recommend this for any trivia buff!

    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.
