Hmm - I can’t agree with this. It was such a well-observed example of a daytime quiz show that it didn’t feel especially funny to me, nor was the plot especially exciting or unexpected. I actually felt like I watched a 30 minute quiz show to watch a 30 second twist that I’d seen coming for ages!
Completely agree that it wasn’t the most exciting of plots and was basically a standard quiz show until the very end, but I found it weirdly quite a satisfying watch based on how well-observed a clone of the quiz format it was.
They nailed every element of a TV quiz show, down to the promo photo they’re using on iPlayer of Lee Mack on the ‘set’ of the show holding branded question cards. The whole thing was done with a knowing wink to the tropes of the genre and I appreciate the effort that must go into pulling something together that seems so authentic - it’s the kind of thing that I imagine people in the industry will enjoy hugely.
