Metropol won't work on my laptop, so yeah.


What do you mean? Confused Metropol is a website. So long as you have an internet connection and a browser with the appropriate plugins installed, it will work...

Maybe he's got Windows 98 and Internet Explorer 5.


I take your point, but blimey, there can't be many people in that situation now...

Ha I forgot about that awful DVD game. There was a 2nd one though, with Roy and the '86 theme (and 2000 logo)

I have to ask, Do we know when this will be getting broadcast? could it be Saturday nights from January? or could it be paired up with DoI?

I think the set looks good to be fair.

Herbie Chips has not aged well.

The set reminds me a little bit of the original set. I shouldn't be looking forward to this, but a bit of me is...

Does anyone know which production company is producing this?

I've got a feeling it's an STV Production.

Reminds me of the Pointless set.

That's right.

Which one's the presenter and which one's the poorly animated sidekick?

Any news on an air date? Considering it's 45 minutes long it would have been good for ITV to give it the slot in the Dancing on Ice sandwich and a chance to establish itself, rather than give it to All Star Family Fortunes which could hold it's own either on Saturdays or later in the year.

I still think though with both Catchphrase and Family Fortunes they should keep them to 30 minutes and just film loads of them to prop up the schedules where they can - far easier to schedule than 45 minute versions (and even hour long versions) and realistically I'd say some classic gameshows in the 8.30pm slot on Thursdays vacated by Corrie are more likely to work in the long term than the sitcoms ITV are supposedly going to put there (but haven't yet!).
