The overnight quiz game on The Hits, Smash Hits etc. music channels, is actually broadcast from a scruffy building in Budapest, Hungary. It's beamed into the UK via a very dubious company which also makes pornographic videos for the eastern European market.

Has anyone got a capture of this one? Sounds a bit dodgy!
You can probably find the videos at your local Sunday market.

Looks like ITV have severed all links with Big Game TV since the raid. This Morning Puzzle Book continues until 6pm and all mention of The Daily Quiz have been removed from the ITV Play website.

Don't know if Hallmark have done the same.


I could have sworn I saw Big Game TV on Men & Motors earlier, I know ITV are probably wanting to drop their links with Big Game TV, but I would have thought they'd shown something else on M&M....Confused:

Do not take the fact that they were raided by police as evidence they are guilty of a crime, Its an investigation, not a judgment.

Big Game Tv work in the same way as any quiz channel.

A slight change today Men & Motors were showing the This Morning Puzzle Book between 3pm and 6pm, either way Big Game TV is still going for some strange reason, but ITV don't want anything to do with it, yet AFAIK they've haven't officially said that dropping BGTV could be a temporary or permanent thing, dependent on the outcome of the raid surely?

There was disgraceful and blatent conning on Telecoms TV's Cash House today;
during the last 15 minutes or so (and earlier) they did the usual thing of raising the guaranteed minimum (or jackpot) way higher than usual whilst the presenter did a hard sell to encourage as many callers as possible.

Then, they actually had the cheek to go off air saying 'well, nobody called; the puzzle wasn't solved so see you tomorrow''.
(aka 'our call filtering process did not find an incorrect answer to be allowed on air')

The sooner these fraudulent companies are stopped, the better.

I think its a travesty that Men and Motors has been replaced by ITV Play on freeview. So much so I've started a website about it:

Hmmm ... joining an internet message board to advertise a website, albeit related to the topic. Eitherway, a certain
well known tinned processed pork and ham based luncheon meat product suddenly springs to mind here . . .

Hallmark have continued with their Big Game TV produced lunchtime Quiz (which is on the same set as the Daily Quiz, just with blue lighting).

Over on ITV Play, the This Morning Puzzle Book extra long editions are ending this week, with Quizmania moved to 3pm to replace The Daily Quiz. A new show, The Pub Quiz is on Monday (from 8pm).

The point exactly. They're perceived as being all the same, and without firm evidence to the contrary, this is the view I will take.

But you can still view M&M for free via Sky.

One thing I don't get, is that Big Game TV was never fully available on NTL, it used to broadcast between 9pm and 3am on the dire Channel NTL, but as soon as the News broke NTL immediately took the channel off, but good to see NTL following ITV's decision.
