Vicky Corens game show

[boldie]

Vicky Coren was a hardcore porn director back in her 20's.

hardly

She co-directed one film that was part of a project/piece of journalism that involved writing a book on it iirc.

Well technically it's a correct statement, just somewhat misleading

It's how the tabloids would report it if they decided they have a problem with someone.

Bouncy bounce. New series of Only Connect started this week. Nearly missed it. Mondays 8.30 BBC Four, then repeated at what-o-clock am on Tuesday morning. And IPlayer, obv. Not seen the first one yet, no spoilers please .

Anyone who has not seen it before, do. It's most excellent (I'm assuming, unless they've radically changed the format for Series 5).

Between this and daily Pointless, my TV quiz life is complete.

New Only Connect tomorrow (Monday) BBC4 8.30pm. I for one am looking forward to having a deep brain massage from the delectable Ms Coren.

I saw the trailer tonight and she looked totally stunning. So pleased she ain't a Ms anymore as it stops me thinking "What could have been"

One of my very favourite shows on TV. Much much more about the questions for me: a proper quiz with testing questions, challenging lateral thinking.

Not dumbed down. Following University Challenge makes it a great hour's quizzaments.

Fifteen to One was clearly the best quiz show ever - getting rid of it was the most bonkers thing Channel 4 ever did, as they then had a succession of 'nowhere near as good' quiz shows in the same slot.

The one thing that took the edge off the show was the fact it became dominated by the professional quizzers so if one of them got to the final, they'd just take questions and by the time they got one wrong they were too far ahead for anyone else to win.

Had no choice, 15 to 1 ran out of contestants in the end. They wrote to me twice asking if I wanted to have another go. Maybe that was just coz I was so hopeless first time round tbf.

Also, just like to point out I hammered Nirvana 8-1 in a type-off and also won Uni Chal 10-7.

I absolutely loved 15to1. Used to watch it every afternoon after school. Nick Terry, Bill McKaig, Michael Prentice and, of course, Daphne Fowler are the regulars who spring to mind.

Terry was a pilot, I seem to recall. McKaig the first to get 433 was a Church of Scotland Minister. Prentice was some sort of teacher I think (history?) and went on to win the first Mastermind that Clive Anderson presented on the Discovery Channel.

Wasn't old enough to go on the show when it was on - and not convinced I'd have the stones to do it if they put it on again - but definitely fond memories of post-school milk, Bourbons and William G!

Now I have Only Connect, tho.

tbf, you score our type offs like you score golf

15-1 was a low scoring answer on Pointless t'other day. Question was catchphrases. Think is was only 8 or something daft who got "Question or Nominate".
