Quiz Shows

[Sharpe's Fox]

Simple one what quiz shows do you often watch? Also are you any good? For me I like The Chase and occasionally Only Connect but it's dead hard, like.

[Wymsey]

The questions on Tipping Point are too easy.

 

Pointless is perhaps the most stimulating, and 2 decent presenters. Hardly know University Challenge questions.

 

Mastermind is alright with the general questions at the end, but it's pot luck if you know a subject/person well that the contestants have chosen.

[ScouseFox]

pointless the chase eggheads an mastermind. sometimes uni challenge but it's impossible rly. 

 

think I could win the chase and pointless.

Yeah the ones who have Lord of the Rings are alright but the guy who is a retired rail signaller who goes for the life and times of some obscure politician from 1894 to 1926 is a twat.

For the chase it depends on you get. Most of them are good but the black bloke is doggo.

depends on your team too I guess. probs not for me imagine being a quiz genius but get stuck with three dogs and lose. grim.

Possibly not if the category was punctuation.

[davieG]

When did contestants start clapping themselves for getting something correct?

yeah that's basically never gonna be a round on any of those programmes

Golden balls used to mega piss me off. Lost count how often the contestants say the word "honest". Always watch tipping point and the chase as Ashton loves them both

[Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo]

Don't really watch many but have a question - whenever I watch Catchphrase I usually get 90%+ of them right and usually within about 2 seconds of it coming up on the screen. Do you have to be thick to get on the show so you don't win too much money?

[StanSP]

The Chase is by far and away my favourite out of those.

 

Sometimes University Challenge as well and I go batshit crazy when I get more than 1 right in an episode  

[The Horse's Mouth]

yeah I really miss goldenballs, you look at tripe like tipping point and it just makes me sad. Pointless & The Chase are probably the only good ones.

Hahahahahaha gu on love!  

[SystonFox]

Tipping point is wicked

 

the chase is decent too

 

catchphrase id love to go on that and you can win 5k and still lose yet get to keep it! Scenes

[Guest MattP]

Love the hour on Monday nights of University Challenge and Only Connect, would love to go on the latter but I don't think I would have the guts as the later rounds could be seriously embarrassing when it gets really hard.

 

Like Pointless as well and Alexander Armstrong is a cool in real life as he is on the show.

[Rincewind]

In the Kings one night last week and before closing they had a channel on showing old Bulls eye shows. I had forgotten how bad they were. Along with the prizes and the contestants inability  to answer easy questions.

Jim Bowen is still alive and doing the comedy circuits. Thought he had gone a few years bac.

I saw him about 15 years ago at the Newfoundpool club, he was great, very blue and politically incorrect.

[Wymsey]

I believe he's had a few strokes sadly in the recent past.

 

Don't know what the darts referee is doing now.

 

There was a new version of Bullseye a few years back, with Dave Spikey, but never really got going.

[Rincewind]

in his 80's. I found his website. He said he set it up to counteract the fake ones and thought it about time he did. On the page he has a picture of Bully. So still playing on that. The show ran for about 15 years.

[RonnieTodger]

I applied to go on Pointless last year but no reply. I'll be back.

[foxy boxing]

I know it's pointless but I like to watch it
