Test the Nation

Test the Nation is back tonight on BBC1

It looks like it is on its way out as it's been given that all important 6.40pm slot. So it starts too early and is on at the same time as both ITV soaps. It's not the type of show you can join in or leave half way through

Don't play along on BBCi - the option boxes go off the screen before time is up.

Needless to say, I can't be bothered anyway.

I used to like doing these, but the last few years they started saying "have your glasses ready", and is often difficult to make out what the smaller pictures are, even though I have perfect vision! Last time, they did all this 3D modelling crap and it was hard to tell what was going on. A lot of the new types of questions just made things stupidly complicated. So I've stopped watching it. The general knowledge ones have more opportunities for funny questions anyway.

From the look of some of the questions I reckon people watching on analogue with a poor signal (or even on DTT with a TV of 15" or smaller) would have been seriously disadvantaged.

I am on analogue, but my telly is 21", and surely your IQ should not reflect the size of your TV!

I did the first few that there were, and stopped because my score was getting lower and lower each time.

I heard Anne saying that is was "the toughest yet". It shouldn't be getting tougher, otherwise it wouldn't be any good.

Quite right.
So it's not just me after all.
