BBC axe this much loved show due to inflation and funding challenges after 50 years.

What can be cheaper television than one quiz master, two captains and four guests in a studio with no outside broadcasting and a selection of old TV footage and photographs. Of course costume dramas are much cheaper to produce. What's the truth here guys? It's all over the news

It's related to the falling view figures. Probably as a result of them getting rid of Sue Barker, Phil Tuffnel and Matt Dawson.

I use to watching all the times until Sue Barker took.Even then I still watched it but not as much. I guess as I got older viewing habits and work patterns dictate to what we watch and even how much television we watch

Good. It's fucking awful. Twee and unfunny.

It's like a staff meeting where all the teachers laugh at the head doing cringingly stupid stuff but pretend it's hilarious

I was thinking the same - who the fuck thought that was a good idea - I hope my license money is paying their wages!

I used to watch it, they used to have some ex sportspeople who were great personalities but then they got obscure people who were boring; and paddy is a good comedian but not the right person for the show.

It's had its day, move on

I used to watch it but even before they dropped Sue Barker it had become tired and boring. I haven’t seen it for several years and it’s the right decision.
