Hear hear. Are there any viewing figures available yet?
Next week it's up against Odd One In - which sounds almost as awful (Call My Bluff mashed up with What's My Line), but at least we're not paying for it

As a supporter of the licence fee, I do cringe when I see trashy programmes like this on the BBC. It's not original, distinctive, quality, or something which couldn't be done in the commercial sector, and simply gives ammunition to those who want the fee scrapped.
With the BBC trying to justify every penny of its existence at the moment, I don't understand how they think spending money on crud like this is acceptable. They need to leave that kind of drivel to ITV.

Maybe the BBC just wanted to try some different, I know that certainly in the past, the BBC in London used to send the more crazy, wacky ideas to BBC Manchester (Red Dwarf for example), and I guess this was an idea that wasn't executed very well unfortunately.

They are and surprisingly it found around 2m viewers during the hour, averaging 4.02m but beginning with 2.97m and ending with 4.97m. Be interesting to see how many come back next week as with that and Tonight's the Night on BBC1 and Odd One In and Magic Numbers on ITV1 there seems to be a four way fight for summer flop of the year.

I'm still not entirely convinced, that could just be a big hoist/lift.
Either way, the transition between the studio and the outside wasn't fluid enough to justify it being in the tower... they could have been answering questions in London for all the atmosphere it added.
There's no point having a studio at all really, answering questions while attached to bungee rope and ready to 'leave' the programme would have been better and would speed up the programme
Apologies for the huge file below, but this shows how the 'set' moves within the "101 Tower".

It's not a great show but is it any more trashy than It's a Knockout?

It's a Knockout was not trashy!
Brilliant entertainment, I was almost distraught when it ended.

What else would it be?

As per other comments I think 1 hour is far too long for this programme. It could easily be cut down to 45 minutes and would probably improve it (as well as making it easier for repeating on a commercial channel).

My point exactly

That's what I gathered. The concept consisted of lining up in the studio, each person picking a question, then going outside to get ready for the 'drop' then being told who answered each question again, then giving us the answer that was correct, saving that person and then finally...20mins later revelling the actual answer from the question that was originally asked. meh.
