I haven't watched it yet myself, but doesn't appear to be. Looks like it's the next episode in the current run.

So that's why the Queen of Denmark abdicated: to appear on Only Connect.

No, it was a new one. First and only broadcast was yesterday...

The UKGameshows.com / Bother's Bar Poll of 2023 is now open for voting on the best and worst of gameshows of last year. Always fun and the results are broadcast live on YouTube. Polling ends Fri 12th Jan at 11.59pm.

I would say this year's hall of fame winner is easy to predict. The hall of shame, maybe if Jeopardy had aired a day earlier that would be it but I don't think there were any truly terrible shows last year.

Suspect Survivor will end up somewhat high in the Hall of Shame.

It wasn't, I have it as a watchlist on iPlayer, and a new episode pops up that evening, and it was the last of the quarter finals.

Thanks. Very bizarre. I had a premonition during it. In early rounds I suddenly started thinking of Wind in the Willows, specifically titles and chapters. That topic then came up in the missing vowel round.

This will be the next US import to pick apart.

Already hating the theme, it just feels pompous and dated.

I have premonitions all the time during Only Connect, as in "I haven't the foggiest what the answer to this question is" Big Grin

Although of course 19 series in there's bound to be some repetition in the question material at some point...


RE: The TV Gameshow Thread - Nobby - 02-01-2024

I had a dream that I was watching an episode of Only Connect and a mannequin came to life and waved at me. I wonder if Alessi's premonition and my hallucination are linked to thinking too hard when trying to work out the answers.
