Thios is what the website says:

Quote:
More complex questioning and number-crunching as another two teams of comedians battle it out to complete their Sudoku boards. The team that answers most appropriately is awarded the final numbers needed to complete their grid; the losing team must struggle to solve the puzzle themselves! Hosted by Colin Murray


Sounds....erm......different

Street Cred Sudiku is one of the programmes carried over from UKTV G2. Not very good

Whose Line Uk repeats have been on Virgin On Demand for a while, hoping these are UK ones too

Nope, I type them up myself. Sorry about that, edited now.

Looks bloody brilliant. Really looking forward to it.



I wouldn't go that far really - it's basically BBC Dave!


The trouble is how soon before they enter a cycle of repeats. Quite a few channels look half decent at launch - but six months in when they are repeating things for the fourth or fifth time it's a different matter!

I'm wondering if they'll invest in some better-quality (& widescreen, where relevant) tapes to mark the change - G2 got a widescreen-capable upgrade when they showed FIFA WC highlights a couple of years back, after all.

Don't you mean 19:59BST?

They did it into EastEnders, surely?

I doubt it. If Virgin 1, which is run by the same people and played out alongside G2/Dave didn't when it launched last week, then Dave won't either.

I believe that UKTV (and presumably the rest of teh Virgin channels) are going widescreen in January
