Because he was told “Simon sidestep to your left” by some guy who clearly hates him

One of my mates used to live near William G Stewart (RIP)

After getting drunk one night, he stood outside his house shouting ‘question or nominate!’ until someone called the police.

Poor William G.

Nice to see Octochef hasn’t got to Octochamp’s tentacles yet.

Could never stand Pickle but I’m beginning to warm to him due to him clearly trying to stifle laughter after matey-boy does a quick skip into the abyss.

Is Davina McCall one of those people you’re supposed to feel guilty about liking? What’s wrong with her? I like her.

So far this thread is less the World Cup of Gameshows and more the World Cup of Shameshows

Ahahahaha.

She’s very shouty. I’m sure she’s lovely when she’s not presenting, but I feel like I’m watching a hyperactive child who’s taken pure caffeine tablets.

No Interceptor in these groups either. Right, I’m forming a breakaway tournament, purely to preserve the integrity of the gameshows missing, and in no way to make oodles of cash selling the rights to Sky. Who’s with me?

To explain further in Knightmare one of the contestants is the hero who wears a giant helmet over his head so his blind and then the rest of the team directs him around a series of low-rent greenscreen CGI environments.

Davina is just the worst

Quite right too, the ITV Wood Elf unions would have had a shit-fit and shut the show down if they’ve employed a Pooka.

I like to believe Only Connect was influenced by Numberwang, given the David Mitchell connection. First time I watched it I was just sitting there open-mouthed thinking ‘what the fuck are they doing?’

(I realise this is a ridiculous idea anywhere other than in my head though)

You don’t need to explain Knightmare to me. I was glued to it.

There’s a good spoof of it somewhere. Can’t remember who by.

Also sad The Adventure Game didn’t get a look in. Responsible for the fact that I can sing the theme tunes to The Wombles and Postman Pat backwards.

In all seriousness you quite often hear celebs going on about how unusually nice she is. Especially the ones with big drink and drug problems obvs.

I refuse to recognise the legitimacy of any tournament that excludes a gameshow where two people have suitcases strapped to their backs and are pursued through the English countryside in their pyjamas by some loon in a trenchcoat who thinks he’s a bird of prey.

My history teacher at school got through to the final of Mastermind. That tenuous enough for you?
