I was still under the impression that it was Fremantle stopping them from coming back - I thought, if there was a chance of the format being given to another channel, they'd be a bit more positive about it.

But what do I know. Laughing


Fair point, I have said before that there were reports that Freemantle would have to give a percentage of their profits to the government and naturally they don't want to lose money. If these creators buy the show themselves from Freemantle or another company buys the rights to show (the more likely option), who knows.

Ditto Sad Even if they brought it back, I wouldn't be watching if the original cast isn't there.

From Quizmania.tv Shocked


I'm not going to read too much into that statement. Even if QM comes back there is a chance that it won't have the original cast.


I'd say that most of the original cast would possibly jump at the chance to go back to it though - judging by their last week. Of course, this depends whether they move onto bigger and better things - as Chuck Thomas has.

Quizcall's on Five now so its not all bad....I'm joking of course, this is horrendous! The graphics are so bad now, they're literally red blobs with squashed text.

Presenter just said

"Please do not phone if you're related to me..sorry dad or anyone in Quizcall team."

Who else is gonna ring love?

Bring back QM!

I don't watch Quizcall because in my opinion it is just terrible. Even if I don't like a show or shows on ITV Play at least they look better than Quizcall.

I miss Quizmania too, im a huge Greggles fan! Even when he was on price-drop.tv he was funny, Ive watched him on i buy and play dj and somehow he dosent seem like he's at home.
It was only a matter of time when ITV got its hands on QM that they would drop it.

BRING BACK QUIZMANIA!!!

Greg was on PlayDJ again this afternoon - its just not his jumping ground is it. The lack of an in vision camera crew, props and other things for him to work with are obvious.

The makers of the Quizmania soundtrack are releasing it for download. I'll be buying it (sad, I know) - it's probably one of the best TV soundtracks ever.

1. Light Suspense
2. Spacey Music Bed
3. Fun Play Bed
4. Greggles Groove *
5. Theme Play Loop
6. Tense Bed
7. Quizmania
8. Mania Play
9. Big Fun Bed
10. Speed Round
11. Alpine Groove
12. Frantic Looper *
13. Groove Play *
14. Tension Time
15. High Point
16. Log Cabin Mix *

... starred songs haven't actually been on TV yet. I wonder which version of the theme tune (track 7) it'll be? The sung "Quizmania!" one, the more subtle sung one, or the "current" one? Shocked

Same goes for the speed round music - I believe that got remixed at some point.

Update: One week is the expected wait before the download becomes available. Smile

Greggles for Make Your Play? IMO, Make Your Play is the natural successor to QM because the studio is really nice and modern, and the graphics are all pretty lol

That Alex woman is OK too, dont really think much of the man though but with a bit of work and imagination (talk about other things other than the game), MYP could be just like QM.
