Gordon is proving more competent as a host than I thought he would, but he's not very natural on the autocue. And the constant Jamie Oliver digs are rapidly becoming boring. Roll on Bradley!

And maybe move it a couple of hours later, axe the audience and replace the guests with phone in quizzes.

Quizmania v2 Very Happy



There was a Quizmania version 2 for a short while online only in 2008. Greg even returned to host one.

IMDB ratings:
TNS got 2.6/10

And this is the funny part:
Quizmania got 7.7/10!

TNS: literally three times worse than a legalised telephone lottery.

Quizmania was a terrible concept with good hosts. Flip it around and you've got The Nightly Show.

Difficult to see how anyone at ITV saw last weeks ratings and this weeks news agenda and didn't think the time was right to admit defeat and move it back to 10.30pm.

Goes to show how important hosting - and all-around execution - really is.

Agreed. The hosts (or main cast, if it's a sitcom or drama) can contribute to whether or not a show remains as popular (or even as memorable) as it could be.

I have some insider info on tonight's show - the guest is Michael Bolton and the hilarious gag they have come up with is to show him some photos of Bolton in Greater Manchester. I know because I've had a message from their researcher asking for permission to use one of the pictures on my Flickr account.

Quality comedy writing, I'm sure you'll agree.

No, no one did. Absolutely nobody said house band.
