Thanks for that. Just wondering - who would that video be aimed at?

Not sure I care for the 3D animations, they seem a little distracting and some of the movement looks a bit pointless but I guess that's just to try and keep up with the times.

One positive thing to come out of this could be a reduction in Catchphrase buzzer ringtones I hear on the bus. Hopefully morons will realise it's no longer cool and retro.

Broadcasters and production companies that might be interested in picking up the format, presumably. There are similar videos for shows like Deal or No Deal and The Million Pound Drop on Endemol website.

Doesn't look too bad at all, and Stephen Mulhern should be a far better host than the others who've followed Roy Walker. Graphics look good too - obviously updated, but not overly so so still have a bit of classic naffness about them.

Only thing I don't see as necessary is the 3rd person in Round 1 (almost all new quiz shows seem to be about elmiinated a contestant each round now). Also does the money won during the game actually get won by either the runner-ups or the winner (if they're playing for a bigger jackpot!).

I wish Stephen all the best, Roy will be tough act to follow. Challenge is repeating the Walker-era episodes Saturday evenings, takes me back to when I was a 'yofth'.

Stephen's an ok presenter, but not great.

He still has plenty of his Kids TV annoying traits still in him which explains why his first prime time gameshow that he done, Magic Numbers, fell flat on it's a*se. Not to mention it was a pretty lousy format.

I'll reserve judgement until I see this on TV.

Good thing it's not Saturday, would've clashed with Doctor Who and The Voice. Should do OK on the Sunday.
