Studio may be cheaper but I'd have thought any savings would be eaten up by getting the staff out there

Who's to say the majority of the production team is English. All the females seem to be Lithuanian (since they don't speak, it would be madness to use British females with the extra cost!), so you'd only need a threadbare british staff.

As for letting myself go, tell you what I'll do, I'll quit the job, and my family can forage for food under park benches. TUT!


But as I said, a job's a job.

The women flanking Mr Scott on each side in the promotional shot seems to be influenced heavily by Deal or No Deal .

He even looks a bit like Howie Mandel in that shot.

It's lovely to be flanked now and again...

Here's the lowdown - There were 2 Brits other than myself who worked on the Lithuanian version of the show - the Exec Producer, and the Director, who stayed out there for the run of the show. I flew back and forth weekly, and all the rest of the crew / lovelies, were locals.

I'll miss certain ones.... about SIX of them.... Wink

I got bored of quiz shows when they started going daily.

A once a week event was good enough for me.

Even Millionaire got boring after being stripped over most of the week!

So....." Live From London " from next Tuesday- I have found BBB to be quite entertaining - and I even won £350 a few months ago and received a cheque within 2 days of winning it - so no problems whatsoever with anything. Only fault I found was the fairly poor picture quality from Lithuania.......just hope it transmits a bit better from London! Oh....and think Mr Scott should get prime time! ( no....Im not related! ) Laughing

I'm thinking four things: either you're actually 1) someone Scott knows, 2) he's paid you off and/or happen to be his publicist, 3) done sexual favours in exchange (or happen to be forced due to a bad night and a tab of Rophynol) or 4) have a severe mental deficit.

I'm willing to accept all four being right.

Nini, I think Greg should get a prime time show. I don't like Joe Pasquale, Noel Edmonds, Ant and Dec, or Jasper Carrot - or, for that matter, most of the current gameshow hosts - does that mean that I should accuse their fans of knowing them, being paid to say it, had sex with them or having a severe mental deficit?

Nana is more of an apt username for you me thinks.
NONE of the 4 apply. I am merely making a personal comment which I thought was the idea of forums. I just find Greg Scott quite a funny host that's all - and has a personality.
Oh and by the way......what the hell is Rophynol? Sounds like something you brush on fencing.
