An MP's select committee has said that the type of call in Quizzes such as ITV's Quiz mania are fraudulent and should be reclassified as gambling and therefore by covered by ther 2005 Gambling Act. If so, and the shows are said to be "lotteries" then at least 20% of the profits must go to charitable causes.

We've had many threads on here criticising them, and of course most of us will welcome that this rubbish, according to the recommendations made by the MP's to Ofcom, is to be better regulated with measures such as on screen warnings about costs and information about the likelihood of getting through being posted

Things that came out were that if you ring you have a 1 in 400 chance of getting through and that ITV makes £20m pa from the programmes



Anyway so much for all that

Now its your turn:

One prograame asked for 13 items that one might find in a handbag.

One answer began with B

Another answer began with R

I challenge any of you to get the corrrect answers within 24 hours. Remember that the viewers didn't even have the first letters as clues....
