Having a wordsearch or an easy question is better than the usual 'Add the numbers' that other channels use

At least if you get through then you've won. With 'add the numbers' you think it is easy but in reality nobody wins

Play DJ Late with Greggles or no Greggles is just rubbish. Sorry Greg but despite your best efforts - you can't polish a turd!

The point here is that the answer has to be in the envelopes, so it's random and guesswork, so even though you see a correct answer, you could still not win!

It's nothing new, they are all pretty much the same games that have been played on all ITV Play and other quiz channels since they first launched. There's always the same tricks to generate a low number of right answers, I'm not sure why people are making a fuss now as if it's something new

As has been said, you can't polish a turd.

This show is awful, what happened to ITV Play providing a better quality quiz experience, soon abandoned that remit. They were supposed to be a cut above the opposition, it's getting to look as low budget as Smile TV.

I am extremely disappointed in this, it's so bland and boring. QuizTV is officially dead.

indeed - the envelopes eliminate any potential skill involved in spotting roy croppers name in a wordsearch - thus (in my view, but obviously not in itv/ofcom's view) making it an unlicensed lottery.

i am cringing at this "debbie king show". she's no better than the tarts on smile tv.
