Anyone know why Quizcall isn't on Five. It should have started at 00:10 but they are showing some film instead. It should have started at 01:20 on Five US too but they are just showing a back at 12pm caption.

Did it start and then go off air or was there some other problem?

The film on Five has just finished and another film is being shown. The continuity mentioned a change in schedule and name checked the film but didn't give a reason for the change.

There were no ads either.

Perhaps five have seen sense, realised the whole phone-in puzzle game format is a dead duck and have axed it altogether.

Apparently, Quiz Call were offering free web entry, which wasn't free at all...
There is more discussion and thoughts over on QuizTelly if you want to find out more. Is this the end of QC? Hopefully!

Some people are putting two and two together with the links between Five, Fremantle and Quizmania's rumoured return.

So, Quizmania may resurrect its' soulless carcass on five to replace Quiz Call. Like replacing a slightly watery **** for one which is yellow but with more solidity.

I think just resurrecting Quizmania is going to set of little sprogs off quiz channels and shows left right and centre and it'll be 2006 all over again! Rolling Eyes Bad move.

Sure, if it actually attains profitability but then Jamster is getting back to doing spread advertising and annoying anyone over 10 so yeah, let's do 2006 again.
