Does anyone know WHY ITV decided to demote Quizmania from ITV1 even though it was much more popular than The Mint? As for Make Your Play, surely it would have been better to have put that on the ITV Play channel along with The Mint and have Quizmania on ITV1 every night? Rolling Eyes


Proof?


Well, Quizmania has a much bigger cult following than The Mint has done or ever will do. It's largely due to Greggles, who is just ACE!!! Very Happy



I did ask for proof. Statements made as fact must be backed up by the proof. How do you know that QM has a bigger cult following than TM ? You have made the same mistake in your second post. If you have seen the viewing figures and the accounts please let us all see them.

If a statement is merely your opinion you must say so. If I said the opposite: The Mint is obviously much more popular than Quizmania, you would want me to back up the point.

Gotta love this presenter, repeats everything every second and didn't even recognise her own voice on the feedback on the phone. ITV have excelled themselves Very Happy Mind you I'd imagine people coming back from the pub will find this hillarious so maybe its all been intentional.

She's a Quiz Call defector, this is no Quizmania. If we are to have all these variants can't they come up with something different to tower games.

Quizmania's getting all the MYP callers... I don't know why, when you consider QM hasn't been on ITV1 for a long time.

1122 and 3000 are hardly easy to confuse, either. Laughing

With that host its basically Quizcall on ITV. What is the point of Make Your Play??....FFS.... Rolling Eyes I'd rather keep The Mint or better still put Quizmania on. This really is shoddy, money-grabbing TV now. One is enough.

Play Date will feature The Mint's Kat Shoob.

Make Your Play needs a lot of work if it's to become watchable.

Make Your Play is pure down your throat rubbish, there's no continuity the presenters are awful and the studio is so cheap.

As I've said before, I'm sure it's the compulsive gamblers who have the numbers on speed dial.

Quizmania's Nigel Mitchell is "presenting" the ITV Play quiz this morning ... only just flicked on so I don't know if he's replacing the prerecorded woman all morning.

It definitely adds a bit more personality to it, but I thought the whole idea of playalong was automation - why pay somebody to do the talking? Smile

Greggles was making me chuckle last night. The gallery kept switching to different stills of Greg while sitting behind the desk while switching back to the live shot afterwards. For a moment i thought it was my box messing around they kept switching the picture back very quickly.
