Channel 4 - Jimmy Carr - I Literally Just Told You.
This is bad. Oh boy is it bad. It's one of those programmes that is so bad you have to watch it to see if it gets better. It doesn't, it gets worse. After you watch episode one and think you'll never watch it again you have to watch episode two just to confirm how bad it was.
You will be in tears with laughter at the absolute rubbish contestants.
Did answer one question though, what is Richard Bacon doing these days.
Use catch up on Channel 4 to watch both episodes now, I promise you'll wonder how bad TV can get but you will watch the second episode just to confirm it.

I watched it and found it utterly bizarre, especially a completely random cameo from Eamonn Holmes, but then I started to laugh at how crap it was, and I started to think, is this so bad and car crash its actually good?

Watched the first one and don't think I will rush to watch the second. Looks like an American style quiz show, just doesn't work this side of the pond.

I quite enjoyed it TBH. Although it only works with Carr because he's so sarcastic with it.

It felt to me like it was a program about a quiz show and all of the contestants were actors playing a role, none of them seemed natural. I kept expecting some sort of Black Mirror style twist at some point (beyond the fake ad break lead in).

If this clip is anything to go by it looks pretty funny. Like a mix of family fortune and blankety blank. Not sure how long t will run for though.


This clip is from the episode shown last night. It was an absolute car crash but I found myself watching to the end as the contestants were so bad it was funny.

I don't think this would work with many hosts - Jimmy Carr is ideal for this gig.

If anyone watches this on catchup, stick with it just to see how bad / good it is.

I've just watched the second episode. It was utterly brilliant! Funniest quiz I've seen in ages, Carr is on peak form and the contestants get things incredibly wrong but have a good laugh doing it.

Frankly, I'm hooked!

Looks quite amusing, I'll give it a go. Must be interesting screening applicants for this show, let's be honest they're not looking for the next Stephen Hawkings.
