Wasn't too bad although I do prefer it if the lotteries were not disrupting the show.

Must admit I do prefer the dutch female presenter Embarassed

It needs to move at about twice the speed it did tonight, it was far too slow.

It suffers from the same problem as In it to Win It IMO - basically a good format but each answer is dragged out too much. Pick up the pace with quick fire answers and it would improve alot!


Prefer the Lotto draws being a seperate part of the show, but they should do all three at once.

They don't really fit in with this show though - it be better if they did something like put them in the middle of Strictly Come Dancing in between the performances and the results.

I feel that the draws should now have their own Saturday evening show - 10 mins before Casualty - say.

Again the game was okay - needs to be a bit more pacier, not quite sure that Dermot O'Leary is the right presenter.

A lot of these lotto gameshows would be better without being interupted by the draws, i.e.

In It To Win It
Winning Lines
The Jet Set
and now this one

Just as long they don't bring back Millionaire Mansion - even the name suggests it should be one of those shows on ITV Play!!!!

But surely the point of spreading out the lottery draws throughout the show is to keep those who've bought tickets watching?

so why have they stopped doing these type of shows on a Wednesday and now have a dedicated Lottery programme?

The difference is though those three were both created for the Lottery and have a natural break in the format for the draws.

1 vs 100 is an estabhlished format and doesn't have the natural break for the draws - they are basically substitutes for commercial breaks at the moment.

Don't worry, Millionaire Manor has officially been axed.

Absolute waste of 45mins. I even pressed Red for this to go interactive on it and it turns out they only got through 10 questions in all that time. Needs major speed boost.

The game on the website (bbc.co.uk/1vs100) is incredibly irritating, insistant on playing videos of Dermot every time you click on anything. Unfortunately there is no option to tell him to permanently get lost.
