Poor Debbie King... just vanished for about five minutes because of cramp in her foot!

Very bizzare. Neil and Jess - the camera and sound people - dancing for a while, then a shot of one of those fake phones and Debbie saying "It's my toe! That one!", and then Jess taking over to do a link.

I love it when TV goes wrong. Laughing

Debbie reminds me of Andrea Boardman, but Debbie is more ditzy

She's not terrible, but her big annoying fake laugh makes me wish she had cramp all the time. Mad Laughing

Nigel and Lee are the most TV-worthy.

Give Greggles his own gameshow - possibly a revamped version of Catchphrase or a new verison of Full House/Lucky Numbers

Just got to say, Good on Greggles on Friday night/Saturday morning. Had a little rant about Scott Mills' rants about Quizmania and Greg in particular. Ending up with him raising a two fingered salute to him, and good on him.

I really don't understand in the business why everyone slates everyone and everything else.

Oh well. Well done to Greg for holding his own and actually defending the show and himself.

I also don't understand people's problem with this programme. True it may be money making, but it is the most entertaining one out there.
And all of this on other forums about ITV disregarding their commitments, all they and other broadcasters do at this time of night is air repeats. The only thing that they aren't doing is airing programmes with sign language, though ITV only tended to do this one day a week, and they were only usualy Des & Mel or Jeremy Kyle repeats.

But mind you it would be nice to have Entertainment Now back.

Now if ITV had an Night Time schedule like Granada did when NIght Time first started then it would be decent to watch. I just feel that ITV have given the ghost up on Night Time completely with 5 hour marathons of Quizmania. Don't get me wrong I am not slagging it off as I do watch it when I come in at the weekends and whenh I can't sleep, but 5 hours more or less every night - a tad too much, don't you think.

ITV1 could do....
Monday To Friday (as in continuation of the days schedules)
1200 to 130 new British priogrammes such as Sportsweek, The James Whale Show, OSM, Late and Loud/Upfront, Quiz Night, Gods' Gist, Hit Man and Her or other modern equivalents
130am to 3am Quizmania
3am to 4am American imports such as Drama's, 60 minutes, etc...)
4am review shows such as Movies, Games and Videos, America's Top 10, The BIG Little Picture Show, etc...
430am to 530am British repeats - signed

Weekends
0030 to 0200am Quizmania
0200 to approx 0345 Film
f/b Short British Programmes
0410 US Comedies
0435 US Imports


Would make a bit more sense and make it a bit more diverse for night time viewing.

BTW give Greggles a new primetime ITV gameshow - he'd be good on Catchphrase or even a new version of Punchlines!!!! or even Strike it Lucky/Rich

Hi y'all... Greggles here... Thank you so much for the (mainly!) lovely comments... Primetime would be lovely, and I would LOVE to do a show like Strike It Rich... But at 17 stone, all those steps... I'd be completely buggered!

A piggy back from Geoff Capes, or a Stannah Stairlift, and we might have a deal....

WADGE!
