The prizes don't have the same appeal as before, the titles seems a little downgraded from the more sophisticated ones used previously and there's that annoying bloke who comes on (ie, a skier or a sterotypical golfer)....

Well when it was shown 3 times in one day it was even more overkill.

Yes bring some decent quiz shows back to the Friday 7pm slot instead of it always being Emmerdale.


Completely agreed. No need for the soaps to overtake the evening schedules. (Okay maybe they get some ratings in, but maybe a change? take a risk etc). Fridays at 7pm a decent quiz type of show, through till 8pm!


I agree. If only to have a bit of variety they should try something different out at 7pm.

So ITV is surprised the latest version didn't match the success of the original. Well what did they expect? Restrictive half-hour shows, it always seems to be on, a bad choice of host and a cheaper look and feel.

Leslie Crowther's version was stylish, engaging and you could sense the great fun the participants were having. Frequent reminders about the Showcase Final enticed viewers to stay with the show.

Once the show was moved to weekdays and cut to 30 minutes, its fate was sealed, despite the best efforts of Brucie.

It was always too cheesy for me. I have no b****ring idea why they made Plinko oriental, and the models, especially the women, don't do anything, and always look more lost then Guy Goma.

They should try and bring back Bruce's Price Is Right, and instead, show it on Friday evenings. WE WANT OUR FRIDAY EVENING TELLY ITV!!!


Hey, leave of Guy Goma, he could probably do a better job Laughing

Ahh the Friday 7pm gameshow slot. I remember only 6 years ago we had the likes of Catchphrase (OK, without Roy Walker but it was still brilliant) Play Your Cards Right or Wheel of Fortune (with the cheesy 'man from C&A' displaying the prizes!) on ITV.

A few years before that Paul Daniels was on BBC1 at 7pm hosting Wipeout!

And if The Price Is Right was to return with Brucie as the host, it'll most likely be on BBC One.

I used to love Take Your Pick with Des O Connor, and Family Fortunes with Les Dennis. Its so boring them putting Emmerdale on a Friday night at 7 when its shown 5 other nights.
