Is Debbie King the only presenter who appears on Quizmania's ITV1 shows thesedays?


Well, shes young, blonde and will pull in the drunks. I mean, Greg Scott may class himself as young and blonde but....you know...his comedy act is saved for the early birds. Wink

Plus she did create the show (along with Chuck and Simone)... I'm sure she can get herself more airtime if she likes.

I don't mind, though. I find her and Greg the most entertaining, so it's good to see either of them on.

I sort of presumed she'd become a backup presenter who appeared occasionally, like Tim and Lee Clark. *Shrug*

Its ridiculous, Flash has now had to resort to appearing on camera dressed in a red cloak hiding his face. He's known as The Emporer. Rolling Eyes

Not on ITV Play, but on another quiz channel, there was a question last night 'TV Programmes beginning with "The".

Whereas answers such as The Office are ok, one of the top answers was "The Six O'Clock News" Rolling Eyes

Does anyone know why Flash decided to start hiding himself? it's quite stupid, everyone knows what he looks like, and he was quite popular with QMs viewers anyway.

ITV decided. Rumour is that they didn't want to pay him "presenter fees" because he was appearing too much.

Don't know how true that is, though.

Would be interested to know the real reason because its getting silly now. "Man-with-big-cheque" "The Emporer" "Paul McCartney" etc.

He, along with Greggles, are the funniest people on Quizmania.

Anyway, I think when QM is revamped, they should axe the ITV Play channel/brand and The Mint and just have QM on overnights on ITV1 or ITV2 - perfect. Thats never going to happen but we can all but hope.

Who mentioned Nightscreen? grr.. Wink

That wouldn't be the hope of all of us, in fact the exact opposite for me. Keep the ITVPlay brand, put The Mint on ITV1, ITV2 and ITVPlay every night and get rid of QM. Its never going to happen. What we have now is a reasonable compromise. Smile

Wikipedia is now saying that Flash is now known as "Zool"

Why did he change his name?

I thought for a laugh I'd search MySpace to see if either Greg was there, or how many people might be impersonating him. There is 4 different accounts there for Greg, and I have to wonder if any of them are genuine. Still, it shows you're popular when people are pretending to be you! There is also 4 for Debbie too! And Flash has one, though I'm almost certain that one's genuine.
