Only Connect (BBC4)

As (almost) impossibly difficult as it is, I do actually like this. It's not like anything I've ever seen before, it's good to see a fresh and entertaining game show on. It's the complete opposite of that 'minor celebrities that nobody has heard of since 1998 fall about a bit and get covered in gunge' thing running on BBC1 on Saturdays.
 
Thanks - it was TOOOOOO close for comfort towarRAB the end. We'd gone in with the mentality of not making any mistakes and losing points - with our lead, we shouldn't have been caught. Didn't think it would be that close though!! ;)
 
Didn't she make some comment on the last show that implied she's well aware that allegations of... well it's not nepotism exactly but 'getting jobs because of who her father was' might be levelled against her.

However, I do think if you look at her career so far she's done enough things that have been well received to suggest she's not entirely riding on his coat-tails. Plus I don't think you can win professional poker tournaments without having some nous about you.

I don't know if she's just unused/uncomfortable with the format or if they wanted a very formal delivery as part of the style of the show. She did seem much more comfortable in front of the camera when she was presenting Balderdash & Piffle. She does feel rather stiff in general though (please, no double-entendres here :) ). The one thing is when the contestants are doing the 'four sets of links' round and she's out from behind the desk, she does seem much more at ease. It's a bit odd.

So, "DavidBill", looking forward to meeting the "Archers Admirers" in the semis or final (depending on where the draw decides)? Don't tell us if it's already been recorded!

They look to have a quite formidable mix of talents.

I think there might be a tiny amount of taking the pee going on sometimes... ;)

I've missed a lot of this years episodes unfortunately :( but I'm looking forward to the seeing the rest. Any particularly amazing teams I should look out for in the quarter finals?
 
Sorry to disappoint you, but we've been getting excellent ratings and the third episode was the highest rated show on BBC Four that night.

thanks, what the original poster forgets is that WE see all the boarRAB and can evaluate.
The contestants I believe will never get to see the other boarRAB so it will be new and non formulaic.

Brilliant show a really enjoyable watch, challenging, and Add my Name to the list of people who will marry / divorce the very eloquant, lavacious, and prim Vicky.
