I see ITV1 dropped Killers on Camera last night to repeat Family.

The correct answer in this instance is surely the 'off' button.....


Does not look too bad from the promo on ITV1. Well its better at 5pm than Design Wars: Around the Lorraine or whatever this madness was called.

P.S. If this is ITV's new daytime quiz show, what was the last daytime quiz ITV came up with? Was that the Biggest gameshow one or whatever it was poorly titled!

Do you blame them? I cant have seen many people putting that in their Personal Planners and ITV might as well increase their change of more viewers on Monday night with Ep2, by showing Ep1 again last night.

It will be nice to have a quiz again. At least it's not You've Been Framed or the Planet's Funniest Animals.

The last daytime quiz was "The Biggest Game in a very small town" as the announcers called it. I watched this show once or twice and im sorry it sucked, no wonder there was no second series.

Or even worse, Daytime Family Fortunes with That Andy whatever.

Its good to have a Teatime quiz on, But come to think, I have got into the daytime Weakest Link again, only because I can answer the questions. Any quiz shows that are beyond my Knowledge, E.g. 15 – 1 I find hard to watch. Shows where you shout the answer at the TV are the best to watch.

Yes, the format was very poor. Even with good presenters like Ant and Dec doing it, the show still would have been pi*s poor.

I wonder why that guy who did it has never presented another show since!

Steve Le Fevre used to be a regular on Calendar/Tonight. Although after "The Biggest Game in Town" I've not seen him since. I think he has a radio show on Radio Leeds, and lot's of insurance/loan commercials to his name.

I loved the biggest game in town, does anyone know if there's going to be another series, i was off work at the time with a broken knee, and watched it every day

The last other daytime quiz show ITV did was You've Never had it so Good, which was that nostalga trip which showed tons of cool clips, it was presented by Matthew Kelly, with team captains Roland Rivron and (Lord) Fred Dineage, with a bunch of D List celebs, but the format worked rather well for 5pm and was worth watching, I wouldn't mind seeing that again. I saw a trailer for Dale's new show and it doesn't look too bad, it's certainately better than Design Wars, what a f*cking joke that was, 3 weeks of Lorraine Kelly at 2.30pm and 5.00pm, probably to p*ss you off and it worked for me, I never want to see that again on ITV.

But I don't want to see anything out of "ITV's 99p Bargain Basement Bin", which is Planets Funniest Animals, YBF, Family Fortunes with Andy Bad Jokes, Catchphrase with Mark "Bad Jokes" Curry.

Though I would rather see the return of Wheel Of Fortune, that was decent, but after John Leslie's year I don't think he'll go back to ITV.

(Bring back the News at 5.40, otherwise we wouldn't be in this mess!)

All the big men in suits at ITV should be forced to sit down and watch the Planets funniest animals and all that other C**p. It might finally get it through to them that there all C*** and are total good for nothings!!

Yes, good old Wheel of Fortune. Now this worked well in its prime time version and daytime version, where as Family Fortunes in a Daytime version is just Poo on a stick!
The last series of Wheel of fortune started Tuesday September 11th at 2:30 pm. I remember it well, as at 15 minutes into the start of the series, we got the ITV caption and the rest you know what happened. The last series was presented By Paul Hendy (From Don’t try this at home) and Terri Seymour (Simon Cowell’s bird). Terri was good, but Paul made the viewer left dry in the mouth. Never mind Paul.

If ITV1 brought this back (with Jenny Powell cos she always had a lot to say for her self, which was good or Terri) plus a new Male presenter, I think it would pull in more that Planets FA, YBF, FF etc.

What about Kaye Adams, The People Verses? Was that axed or did it just not come back after the series ended? That was quite a good quiz to sit and get your teeth into. Any thoughts People?

Really sorry mate, but its safe to say at this stage that this will not be back. There's more chance that Busty Kerry Katona’s Elimidate will return (even though that was axed) than The Biggest game coming back.

Sorry Richards.
