Great quote from Richard in tonight's show:

"You want a mystery? Why hasn't anyone bashed Jeremy Beadle in the head, there's a mystery for you."

Although I knew all the games were predetermined, it's pretty obvious in the first series when often the contestants say "I want to do a mental" and Richard replies something like "I've got a nice mystery you might be interested in", to which they agree immediately!

Especially when he holds his finger to the earpice, he's obviously being told to encourage their choice the other way or suffer doing a retake.

Oh and whoever complained about the ugly contestants, tonight's team captain is fairly attractive Smile

He does follow his earpiece a lot - just shows he really didn't have much input into the show himself. I love the way he quickly says "Time's tickin' away". Its like "Its astounding...Time is....fleeting!" Laughing

Bobby George is on Bullseye and even did an impression of Jim Bowen. Its comedy gold, you can't buy TV like that now'days. Laughing

Fab round on Krypton today, the contestants had to put together the Channel 4 logo in strips, as Gordon mentioned it was their 5th birthday.

Bleeding hell, the first Krypton I miss since it's started on Ftn and the puzzle is TV related. If Ftn get as far as the 1989 series of Krypton, there is in one episode a round where the contestants have to put together a map of the ITV Regions, Gordon Burns' commentary usually makes it more interesting too.

Wow, I remember seeing that first time round. Channel 4 did its on little thing by showing a hand with coloured fingers as an ident when it started its transmissions for the day and when it closedown. The latter clip is on TV Ark but as and when it appears could be a question from the K Factor Very Happy

Will be showing all the finals of the Krypton Factor together at the end of heat C? They've skipped finals A&B so far.

Can somebody explain to me why the show's breaks were in "Flextech" style (fade cutaway to the shows logo and break) even though the Krypton Factor ran for 30mins WITH an ad break?

Probably as 30 minutes is now less than it was 20 years ago.

The standard length for a commercial programme now is around 23 minutes - compared to around 26 mins previously.
