I might have asked this before (and forgive me if I have) - but surely all these live quiz channels must employ some time-delay to avoid such an instance happening. Because I'm thinking that it would have happened by now otherwise...


There isn't a time delay- read this blog update! (And please excuse the non-TV pres stuff in there, too)

I hate to reply to something I replied last to, but I've done something dull:

I was watching Quiz TV briefly today, when it was one of those "re-arrange the face" puzzles, so I took a screencap and tried to re-arrange it. Does anyone know who this is? I certainly don't!

Apparently it was Naomi Watts (?) You might have to Google her.

Hardly the megastar they were making it out to be.

Well the show is just over 2 weeks old now and its still going- unbelievable!

Last night showed just how much of a rip off it was.

There was a box in the corner of the screen with pictures of the following pound notes:

1x £50
2x £20
1x £10
2x £5

The question was 'Add up all the pounds'.

So-
50+20+20= 90
+10+5+5= 110

So you would think the answer is 110 . Not on this show! Surprised

For the prize of £10,000 the puzzle lasted for almost an hour and a half, with some people giving stupid answers like '£4' or '£11,000' with long pauses in between some callers. The camera had a constant close up of the annoying presenters face throughout the whole puzzle. Rolling Eyes

About 4 people did actually say '£110' for the answer- but they were wrong. Eventually, nobody got it, so they had to reveal the answer, and guess what it was Confused:

£277!

Anyone like to try and get £277?

1x £50
2x £20
1x £10
2x £5


It really is time these channels were closed down.

There is only one answer to this question but as far as these channels go, there's loads, depending on whether you count the "£", how about the x = roman numeral 10 etc

There was a followup on Watchdog last night. Apparently ICSTIS are looking into tighter regs on these channels.
