You've probably had this for years in UK but it's just come on TV over in Africaland. Following The Chase and Pointless (both reasonable viewing after work), this fucking show does my head in - it's got me at my tipping point, that's for sure. If there has ever been a quiz show with more stupid questions, I've not see it. Sample questions: "Which musical instrument does a Royal Marines Bugler play when he plays the Last Post?". "A kitten is the young of which domesticated animal often kept as a pet inside a house?" A hard question at the end for 3 counters was, "The adjective 'Alpine' refers to which range of mountains?"
Now, I know people will say, well don't watch it, but there really is limited choice of viewing and I do like to see people show how fucking stupid they are so there's a kind of morbid fascination I suppose. But it is dumbing down tv and making us Brits look fucking stupid. Another programme that's just started over here and already has me at the tipping point is the Jeremy Kyle show. How this obnoxious piece of shit doesn't get his head pummeled to pulp, is beyond my comprehension. Luckily, it's on at the same time as Top Gear repeats so I can get a little fix of Clarkson instead.

Never seen it mate but it does sound like it's dumb as dirt. As for Jeremy Kyle, that is the worst face of Britain imaginable. I know some people watch it to laugh at them but for me it's just awful

Lol I know what you mean but it is quite remarkable how often they get them wrong. I don't watch it often as its on around 4 here but you are dead right. I just don't watch The Kyle nonsense. On the few times I have I'm not sure who disgusts me more Kyle or the morons on the show. Pointless however, is compulsive viewing.

"Specs is an abbreviation for which pair of optical aids worn in a frame?"
"Glasses"
"I can accept glasses..."

Is that a local version of the show because on the few occassions I have watched I don't remember the questions being quite that daft.

I take there are no porn channels in Africa? No tits on tv in Africa. Every swear word on the movie channels is blanked out too - not so much as a 'darn' gets past the censors - so most action movies are unwatchable. Most BBC shows (especially Top Gear and QI) even get a warning before the show - parental discretion is advised.

Right Rebecca, you are the last person left so the only one who can answer the question. You do have to give me the right answer tho to put your last counter in play.
Ok.
Which amphibian creature lays its eggs in a jelly-like liquid membrane known as Frogspawn?
I'm guessing here... is it a Spider?
No, I'm afraid not, it's a Frog.
Oh well.
