But I just find her funny/bizarre and it doesn't both me really. <br /><br />Watched some more and really enjoy the questions on that show. Must tap into my style of thinking and interests particularly well I guess. I also think it contains some of the most exciting race-against-time head-to-heads of any quiz format on TV. The tension in a close round is great.AaronWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10092351779984137119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-58090271057416469282012-08-26T09:48:16.569-07:002012-08-26T09:48:16.569-07:00Looking forward to this tomorrow and as per Clever...Looking forward to this tomorrow and as per Cleverdicks I have been enjoying that too but am still a few behind after taping pretty much 10+ episodes during the OlympicsDanielFullardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635161450969202410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-31469956123166947082012-08-26T02:40:51.324-07:002012-08-26T02:40:51.324-07:00Hi Aaron

I don´t have Sky Atlantic on my cable package, but I have caught a few of the repeats on Challenge. I tend to agree with Watergrass Jon inasmuch as I like the show a lot, but I don´t think a great deal of Anne Widdecombe. The gossip is that she was terrible at it as well - I´ve been told that she required numerous retakes , although for all I know this could be exaggeration by those who were there. On a show like that, though, you don´r need a ,personality´to host it, simply a professional.Londiniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871325359167581176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-49263437089243522512012-08-26T01:10:28.530-07:002012-08-26T01:10:28.530-07:00Cleverdicks looks like a good, challenging quiz - ...Cleverdicks looks like a good, challenging quiz - however I can't stand that awful woman.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17005504982536146457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-39396629255133970872012-08-25T07:16:57.511-07:002012-08-25T07:16:57.511-07:00Noticing that there are currently on British TV - ...Noticing that there are currently on British TV - Mastermind, University Challenge, Eggheads, Countdown, and from Monday, new series of Only Connect...it got me wondering...which other countries have this many challenging quiz/puzzle-based game shows?<br /><br />I'm wondering about Japan as a possible answer, but i don't imagine many countries do. Do you have any thoughts Dave?<br /><br />PS have you caught 'cleverdicks' on sky atlantic? It is bizarre but quite good, with sufficiently challenging questions to be worth the time watching i reckon.AaronWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10092351779984137119noreply@blogger.com
