    It Annoys Me

    The contestants sometimes buzz in when they don't know the answer and give themselves time to work out the answer. It's especially bad on the celebrity version. This is really annoying. I don't know why the presenters allow it. Maybe it's just me but it seems really unfair and contestants should be given a couple of seconds to answer as a maximum.

    Could be better.

    Great when the game is actually being played. Even though I am a fan of Rochelle's former group, we really could do without The Saturdays and JLS being mentioned without fail in every single episode. Shoehorning the 2 groups into nearly every conversation and sometimes into the actual game is beyond cringe. That aside, it's great to see music from loads of different decades being given an airing instead of the usual modern "anything pre-2000 is never mentioned" attitude. Even more "old music" would be very welcome, less JLS/The Saturdays patter would be even more welcome.

    Not entertaining

    Another variation on 'Name That Tune' where three pairs of players aim to identify the song first. Sadly, this variation does nothing to revitalise an old format and the fairly bland quiz hosts don't help. It all looks a bit tired and dull.

    Improvement

    Thanks to COVID-19 now much better. No more touching and no more audience, just a good quiz.

    Great concept but it just doesn't flow. I couldn't get through 20 mins.

    • The first glaring error is Marvin & Rochelle. If someone just reads a script & doesn't add anything more, it becomes bland (maybe the show needs a comedian). They're also very rigid & don't seem relaxed (Marvin especially) - which makes the whole thing feel overly formal & not fun.


    • The show doesn't really get going. It's feels overly structured, literally: play, stop, talk (on repeat). It doesn't have a natural flow. I skipped loads, just wanting to hear the songs. And there are loads of awkward pauses.


    • Every episode should kick off with a bang. For example, the first round could be a quick fire round, with tunes playing (and no pauses for talking) & any contestant can buzz in to guess.
