Neither Ian Hislop nor Paul Merton are on HIGNFY for instance.

That said, the line up for Give Us a Clue looks almost totally authentic Sara Cox, Christopher Biggins, Lionel Blair, Una Stubbs, Holly Walsh, Jenni Falconer and David Walliams. Anyone see it? Was it any good?


It was actually, could easily be made again. Paul Merton was listed on the schedule and as mentioned above there was a lot of filling beforehand. Whose Line Is It Anyway? has been the best, I really think they could make a new series of that easily, it works better than Fast and Loose if you ask me.

I've got to say since Matt Edmondson and Jameela Jamil came on shift, the links presenting has improved, at least they get the information right! Oh and it's the last show, Never Mind the Buzzcocks and they played the original titles.

Which theme tune did they use for Give us a Clue? The cheesy version after the Grange Hill theme?


They didn't use Chicken Man. They used titles with clips from an 80s series and then a live voice over introduced the host (Cox) who then introduced the team captains (Stubbs and Blair) who then introduced the guests live.

ukgameshows.com reports on "a pilot with George Lamb as chairman and Kirsten O'Brien and Rufus Hound as captains." I'm not sure why they didn't/couldn't get Lionel Blair.

They seem to be allowing a little more swearing through on a Sunday morning than they did after 9pm on a Saturday night. Strange choices.

Stroke of Genius to run delayed online behind an adult content warning hence avoiding all issues surrounding TV content restrictions. They can do the edits for broadcast yet allow the risque stuff through online.

I stayed until about 5am when they'd just finished Call My Bluff and David let out a huge yawn which made the twitter feed go mad. Tim Key and Alex Horne just didn't care what they were saying, it was brilliant!

Richard Curtis seemed to appear on set around that time too.

It seems a little bit of a shame that Walliams couldn't persuade more of the regulars from these panel shows to take part. Neither Ian Hislop nor Paul Merton are on HIGNFY for instance.


I was at the studio this morning, we were told Paul Merton is ill and couldn't make it, don't know if this was mentioned to the online viewers? It wasn't explained to us why Dappy couldn't do Buzzcocks, but nobody seemed to mind!

I was there from just before 7am until the end at noon, there were a group in the audience next to me who had been there since 2am and another couple of people who were there from 11pm!

Whose Line was definitely the highlight, it felt like a privilege to be there in the audience to see Clive, Josie and Tony doing the show, something I was too young to do when it was originally on. Was a lovely moment when the 24 hours were up, David and the panellists seemed oblivious to the clock appearing on the screens behind them, and when it appeared that nobody was counting down, the audience just did it anyway! Followed by pyrotechnics, tickertape and a big standing ovation.

I watched Buzzcocks online this morning, it felt weird seeing them do some retakes with out being in the studio.

If I knew this was happening, I would have stayed up all night to watch some of the game shows. I had a bad evening earlier.

Looking forward to seeing these shows on BBC Three from March 13-17. Should be fun.

I can imagine those Editors are shouting, we should have had another take! Must be a headache, Blankety Blank well, I think that will be very difficult, Paul really didn't hold it together, but lots of laughs Laughing

Are the BBC Three shows actually going to be complete episodes of each programme or a series of clips? It looked like they were aiming for complete programmes what with all the retakes they kept doing but surely clips is the right way to go, isn't it? Besides, have ITV allowed the BBC to show a complete episode of Celebrity Juice on a BBC channel? How many times are they allowed to show it, this is BBC Three after all? Do programmes such as Call my Bluff, QI and Give us a Clue appeal to BBC Three's demographic?

Did the Never Mind the Buzzcocks recording actually last long enough to get a complete show out of? It finished mid way though the show because David Walliams had done his 24 hours.
