You mean like this:
Question: What colour is the sky - blue, green, yellow or red?
Numpty contestant (after 5 mins of slack-jawed vacant silence): Can I ask the audience?
Chris Tarrant: Well, 99 percent say blue (apart from one percent of idiots who say red).....
Numpty: Hmm, audience has been wrong before, can I go 50/50?
CT: Computer, take away 2 wrong answers.....you're left with red and blue.
Numpty: hmmm, well it could be blue - or it could be red, you know like the saying "Red sky at night...."
CT (losing the will to live): You have one lifeline remaining....
Numpty: OK, I'll phone my friend Brian, he's an expert on the sky, he'll know for sure.
Friend: Blue, 100 percent sure.
Numpty: Chris, I've had a wonderful day, but I dont' want to risk it, I'll take the money.
CT: BUT THAT WAS THE FIRST QUESTION YOU MORON!!!!
So if the new format puts an end to scenarios like that, I too will be watching avidly every week
