I've watched this since day one, in spite of the very annoying hostess.
The questions require lateral thinking and can be pretty difficult. I prefer the missing vowels round, and the wall.
Although the questions are hard - some are gettable if your mind works that way - and the smug way the hostess gives the answers is extremely annoying as she tends to give them as though the contestants should have know them - of course she has the answer there, or has someone giving it in her ear. Often the answer makes no sense at all
Unfortunately the hostess is a wannabe comedian and will attempt to be humorous and the efforts usually fall flat. We switch over as soon as the programme ends as she usually waffles on and on, with some 'funny' anecdotes (they aren't) and a dig or two at a fellow and more popular TV presenter.
We've just watched the 2023 final and it was odd to see the captain of the losing team looking pretty sulky and slow clapping, eyes down and away from the victors.
