And they're giving the impression nobody's calling, when in reality the lines are probably jammed and they're refusing to let people through while pocketing the cash.
This was always my biggest issue with these shows. It was disingenuous and done solely to make it look like you would get put straight through if you called, and that you were the only person watching who knew the answer and so must be really clever. It was preying on those who maybe aren’t so savvy about these sorts of things.
Anyone remember the 'Come On' lady on Quiz Call? They had her sat there in a bikini for the whole evening and all she could say was 'Come on' They mocked her on Quizmania the day after and had Greg and Debbie saying it during a speed round and Greg shouted "Come on" when the next caller hung up on them.

Well, the Channel 5 schedule for past New Year's doesn't look promising:

This kind of thing still continues. Put on ITV3 during the day, and look out for the incredibly challenging crossword puzzles in the ads. Preying on the vulnerable and the elderly.

"Phone now, time runs out in 30 seconds", even though that same ad will be run countless times.

Alongside the numerous funeral plan & Fred Olsen Cruises adverts.
Also with those dodgy looking commemorative coin adverts.

Yes, ITV3 clearly think all of us watching are either stupid or nearly dead judging by the adverts I have to get through on classic Corrie.

Channel 5 are going for Teleshopping; no word on what ITV will be going with.
Are we just going up with a lot of nightscreen like channel utv and stv or a lot of TELESHOPPING or just random repeats of the chase etc as filler?

Alcoholics? Loners? Failures?
And they're replacing it by 'Home Shopping'? Who's going to be buying Hoovers at that time of the morning???
