It's a "balaclava", not a "baraclava".

Are you all quite sure you know what it is?


Yes, and I'm quite sure I'd never expect to find one in a lady's handbag. Smile

BEST BITS NOW AIRING.


Very Happy

What are everyone's best bits that they didn't show?

The one where Greggles was sharing out chocolate bars called Plopp and Kack was good

And there was that one where Greg and Debbie were taking the p*** out of the Quiz Call women from the previous night "come on, come on..."

The best tower games were always the game show ones where Greg could use his vast knowledge of the genre

Thanks for this but is there any chance that someone can convert it into .3gp for me so I can view it on my phone. I've downloaded some free software but I've been dissapointed with it.

Thanks if anyone can

I know what it is, and I did know a girl who had one in her bag, haven't seen her around for a while though.

I just can't spell, I rushed that post at lunchtime in work & though I spelt it wrong then.

You can see how Quizmania was so expensive to make. They had 2 presenters, 3 supposed camera operators (!), at least 2 or 3 people in the gallery

I expect Play DJ is done with 1 presenter and a maximum of 2 people in the gallery. It will be interesting to see how Greggles fits in to such an environment

Just seen 10 minutes of Play DJ with QM's own Nigel!!!!!

It is absoultely dire. How on earth could ITV let this tripe through the quality threshold and on air??????
To be honest the sooner ITV Play goes, the better now that QM has finished - it have had high expense production values but it was well worth it, but as usual ITV hid it on ITV Play and kept moving it around the schedules - It should have stayed on ITV1, where it began

He did mention something abiut being on contract until September, so perhaps he may only appear on here for a while, i think he could work on Make Your Play, if he was him same self as he was on Quiz Mania.

Who know's he may make Play DJ his own Very Happy

We haven't seen the accounts and William Van whatever he's called will have had his reasons for axing the show

Obviously some people just said that it was crappy call TV and lumped it in with all the poor ones like TGBBQ and Quiz Call, without actually seeing it.

Maybe they could have some how renamed or repositioned Quizmania so it was obvious that there was no dodgy behaviour and constant demands for people to call going on

It does seem strange how ITV Play has totally fallen apart in less than a year. It's like the natural life of a TV channel, but in double quick time
