You mean Shane Richie's Lucky Numbers, don't you? Was the show off air today?
I already pointed that out.

Its a new concept on an old format though,

The fact that viewers can play along at home, and actually know how many people are playing and how many numbers are needed

The fact that it is filmed near to live, rather than months in advance

The way the 1st round is topical and the 2nd round is about tonights TV, these are good features.

Plus, 'Lucky Numbers' was a number of years ago, so the rehash of an old format isn't that important.

Well I like it anyway!..............

Viewers on YTV got a full hour of Steve Le Fevre today

at 1.10pm, he presented 'Prizes and Suprises' - A look behind the scenes at Nidderdale Agricultural Show

(Which was a repeat from prior to the outbreak of Foot & Mouth)

Yeah, but I hear there was no mention of the WTC destruction, or of schedule changes. I bet Tuesday's episode mentioned TONIGHT'S The Bill! (BGIT was shown on Tuesday before the news broke - just! - so at the time The Bill was still scheduled for Tuesday)

I don't like this game, all this business of activating game cards and viewers needing so many numbers to win. Give us a decent quiz game, I don't like all these gimmicks.

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire works because it is simple. This game is poor, very poor.
