The Mint

[Bozza]

What the hell is this shit?

In the old days, TV finished late at night. Nothing on until the next morning. Then we had stuff through the night - brilliant if you were up or had to be up.

Now, ITV have a programme running from midnight until 4am which involves a 'quiz' where people phone up to win thousands of pounds. Obviously they coin it in from the phone calls.Some presenters have been talking for what must be 10 minutes or more now despite one of them just saying "we don't leave it ages between callers".

This is appalling. Take us back to no through-the-night TV again.

It's a crock of old shite and no mistake. It was one of th things ITV were allowed to do once the regulators had decided that it could be a single company, and not really bother with that many proper programmes.

 

[The Large One]

Better?

 

[keaton]

The blonde girl on it IS MINt though

Yes, yes she is.

Are you sure you're not getting confused with Brian Dowling?

Was I the only kid who was freaked out by what seems to be a bald, shiny, severed head staring at the girl from bottom right?

I used to stare at it trying to work out what it was, unable to take my eyes of something that appalled and terrified me.

Perhaps it was just me.....

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

PS - I'd like to point out in case it's not clear that I've worked out what it is now, of course.

I won £500 on it for correctly identifying the missing word water-----? I guessed Water Cupboard and got one of the lower prizes.

How much have you spent calling in, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Appalling late night drivel (I only get to see it because I often come in and stick the telly on, working shifts )


Must be a decent chance of winning though, what with (a) them hardly having any callers and (b) most of the callers being thick anyway.

I've also noticed they have MAJOR celebrity guests...like...(drum roll)...Cheryl Baker!!!!!!

I wonder how long she took 'making her mind up' to appear?

*coat*

I phoned in about a dozen times. I think it's about 60p per call so about 7 quid in total at a guess.

Highly likely that the Treasury will declare that they should be regarded as lotteries. That will mean they will have to dramtically change the format or pull them off the air. Lotteries cannot be run for private profit.

 

[crodonilson]

When I phoned in I had the pleasure to speak to someone who used to be in reality series 'the salon'.

 

[Barnham Seagull]

Quizmania far the better late night drivel!!!!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Is that from SeagullsWorld?

Nice to see the Albion's got a child of eight in to help McGhee out with his tactics
