QUIZ SHOWS ON TV!!!.

We all occasionally stay tuned to a Quiz Show just to see if the person under fire is as good as we are. Of course not. If only we were there. Actually I was once. The Weakest Link was my choice and the wonderfully thrilling Ann Robinson was the quizmistress! Red hair and piercing eyes eventually succeeded in breaking my concentration and I was out the third round after being the best in the first two rounds. You only have to falter once and everybody else is glad to vote you off.In truth, it is the luck of the questions, and the programme has turned out to be one of the most popular quiz shows of the last decade. It's main attribute being a wicked personality-host and a well thought-out interesting game. Their our still many intelligent people looking for successful blueprints for a top gameshow. POINTLESS is at the moment the best idea around on BBC1 late afternoon and the show hosted by Alexander Armstrong is again...good host...good idea. I am tired of those shows reflecting WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE with multiple choice answers that become boring in the extreme. Stop them immeadiately please. I don't want multiple choice questions thrown at me in different systems that re appears again and again. DEAL OR NO DEAL has no questions just inane chat and opening boxes. It could all be done in five minutes but Noel Edmunds encourages contestants to open their lives up to us. ....and greed has nothing to do with it.?? I suppose that's why MASTERMIND has endured for so long...it's simply answering difficult questions in a short time and you get a glass vase and a few TV bookings as a prize. However if you can think of a good format for an intelligent quiz show you could make lots of money only....register it...or someone will pinch it!

TV. ESCAPE TO THE COUNTRY OR OUT OF THE FRYING PAN INTO THE FIRE !!!

ESCAPE TO THE COUNTRY. Those smug presenters who haul around couples who might be buying a new house in the country if they can sell their own,know their game or perhaps have been thoroughly taught....The glass of wine on the balcony,or in the courtyard..or under the gazebo or preferably by the pool. The perfect gold sparkling rooms with quaint wooden beams and kitchens you could drive a tractor through...if not a barn conversion ( I don't want to live in a barn) ...or a church ! Ah, but that's usually the mystery house. Repetitious country nonsense with dewey eyed couples who only see, the glass of wine, the peace and tranquillity, and old fashioned village life. The reality of course is monumentally different. The peace and quiet can be disturbing to a city life dweller in a very short time. ...that is if they're aren't to many animals in the vicinity. No gas . NO GAS!! only expensive oil. The wind in this beauty spot thunders over the hills at 90mph and what with the snow sometimes there's no power. NO ELECTRIC.NO TELLY. NO COMPUTER !!! There are two shops in the village. The pub and the post office.....both due to close... lack of customers and the nearest hospital ?....40 country lane miles.....and the nearest garage?....and the nearest Supermarket ? Why do these questions never happen on TV. The only things these "Good life" couples want are An Office, a vegetable garden, a bit of land, a paddock or in extreme circumstances some cute chickens. The truth is everybody is looking for something different. Next year TV will embark on ESCAPE TO THE CITY>
