That's TV as in TeleVision!!

best and worst?

I'm a big fan of the Chase on ITV and got well into Two Tribes once I got to grips with the concept!

Worst of the lot on mainstream UK tele at the moment has to be Tipping Point. It has a gormless presenter, no studio audience, and no atmosphere.

I know a person on here that was on the chase!!!!!

do you know how long i have been holding in that information for!!!!

I'd love to go on only connect but i only get 2 right a show as it is.... I'd be crap....

but yes... i'd love to do either pointless or the chase...

P.s I have been on one "quiz show" in the past.... but it brings up bad memories of me being utterly useless.....

Good List - Question of Sport, A League of their Own. Have I got news for You, Never Mind The Buzzcocks (but not with Rod Gilbert!)

Bad list - Sale of the Century, play your cards right!

Simply Weird List - QI but still lovable

Only Connect, University Challenge, Mastermind... We love those

Used to be fond of Countdown too. We'd be completely buggered on any sports quiz though!

Not exactly a quiz, but we rather like QI and I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue. Many a journey is passed playing a game of Mornington Crescent (and arguing the rules, of course, as is only right!)

Pointless is good and getting better now that Alexander and Richard have freed themselves a little from the repetitive script....University Challenge, followed by Only Connect is near Heaven, if only (in the latter's case) for lusting after Victoria Coren Mitchell.....

Best is Chase.

Any quiz show where there are more questions than talking is good.

15-1

Weakest Link

Not mastermind, I struggle to undererstand some of the question

Best - University Challenge, Only Connect and Mastermind, worst definitely that lottery thing with Dale Winton...can't remember the name. Deal or No Deal not a quiz, just a game of chance surely
