A new gameshow began on Channel Four tonight called Distraction.

It was hosted by "Johnny Vaughan on acid" lookalike Jimmy Carr.

Ive never really taken to Johnny Carr and his alledged humour but I found the whole programme hilarious.

The first round featured the contestants with electrodes connected to their arms and whenever they buzzed in they got electrocuted.

The second round featured a school sports-day set-up where each contestant had a filly naked OAP and had to perform several games with them including leapfrog and the wheelbarrow.

The third game consisted of the contestants sitting under a pigeon coup where the birds were constantly sh itting on them where the contestants had a 'mouth opener' in their mouths so they couldnt shut them to preven sh it from entering!

Once one of the contestants had won a car - she had five final questions to answer - an incorrect answer lead to a portion of the car being damaged or destroyed ie smashing the windscreen, lights, slashing the seats and grafitiing the paint work.

Whatever state the car was left in (considering how many incorrect answers were given) the contestant then won the car.

Jimmy Carr was VERY funny and quick witted and it was refreshing to hear a gameshow presenter telling the guests to f**k off and other expletives. Overall a great show and I recommend you give it a look net week or a repeat on E4.

oooh yes, I did love that show - very funny indeed, although there should have been more rules on the pigeon-pooping one (e.g. looking up throughout) - or maybe I'm just cruel! Wink
