pattricia 575 #1 Posted September 6, 2021 Very disappointing.! I usually like Paddy McGuiness but he’s not suitable in this programme. The panel were just as bad, and the questions were uninteresting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
ukdobby 224 #2 Posted September 6, 2021 Haven't watched Paddy Mcguiness is one of the most overrated guys on tv,he made it riding on Peter Kay's back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Baron99 795 #3 Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) The programme should have ended ages ago as it's well passed its sell by date as an entertaining & proper sports quiz. It started to fall apart years ago & I thought it'd reached rock bottom when they employed Phil Tufnell as a captain. Its miles away from its hay day of having the likes of captains Botham, Hughes, Beaumont & Carson & able to attract the top sporting talent of the day as additional panel members. Now all it appears to be is another vehicle for existing BBC 'stars', to work on. For goodness sake, I've seen one trailer showing Anton Du Beke is going to be a guest. How highly does the BBC rate it? They've moved it from a prime time schedule & lined it up against Coronation Street.

hackey lad 3,976 #5 Posted September 6, 2021 One of the first questions should be "do you know who the team captains are ? I agree with everything Baron says. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

BigAl1 143 #10 Posted September 7, 2021 I liked the old version including the last series but this was a real disappointment as said before Paddy and the captains just did not cut it Bit like the new top gear after Clarkson and rest kicked off BBC a failure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Suspect with his recent 'popularity' (and increased wealth) he's now made home in the golden triangle to the north of Macclesfield, probably Prestbury.

sharpend 11 #12 Posted September 7, 2021 something else that has been "productised" - It has gone from looking in on someone elses pub quiz, it has gone down the route of "find a formula and beat it to death" PLUS - there are a lot more minority sports at the moment that the average viewer won't have a clue about. In days gone, we all knew where we were with cup finals, grand national winners etc... Weightlifting not so much... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
