Oh I don't think rylan would have worked, it's not a humour show. In the US its more of an intellectual one rather than a jokey fun one. But yeah there needs to be some lightness too. Richard Osman maybe (if he wasn't already busy). Maybe Rick Edwards

I must admit I couldn’t take it seriously after watching SNL’s celebrity jeopardy and black jeopardy parodies. The bit where they have to write on the screen I was fully expecting someone to draw nonsense 🤣

Sounds like people just don't like the format. It isn't a silly quiz like deal or no deal. I think the afternoon slot is wrong for it. Its more an evening one like some of the other more serious quiz shows.

It gets the braincells rattling- I like something that gets me thinking- Stephen Fry is definitely the weak link- I saw a bit of the programme before it- “Riddiculous” … the riddlemaster from that might be a good host- not on everything - not sure who he is- Henry?

Yeah it feels more like mastermind/University challenge than deal or no deal.

It feels like the wrong time, wrong presenter and maybe wrong channel
 
Keshava is such a clever guy. I hope he ends up winning his total.

I often forget the category, I wish they would put it on screen next to the clue. The US version is 22-26 minutes whereas ours is like 50 without the ad breaks and that’s with the same amount of questions. I don’t think us brits could handle the pace of the US version 😂
 
What happend to the guy who's been winning all week?? I missed yesterday's. Do they keep the money they win from the previous shows?

To be fair I think during Keshava's run he often looked a bit irritated that Stephen was rattling off facts about the previous question rather than letting him pick the next one, I suspect the producers have decided to pad their runtime out to an hour they want to embrace that but it does interfere with the momentum a bit.

I think the latest winner could go on a good run, very strong yesterday.
