I like a good, proper general knowledge quiz but there's no getting away from it being a very dull format. Some of the questions and categories were quite good but it's just so dry.

Seems like a lot of the things are there just because they're iconic in the US, like the quaint typeface and ridiculous music (I don't know if that's in the American version, but it's the only possible explanation), but that'll mean nothing to virtually all the audience here.

As far as I can tell, everything is identical to the US version except for them playing the first round twice, and the end credits being in the usual ITV generic style. There's shots of Stephen Fry in the titles, but I assume those just replace equivalent shots of the presenter (Ken Jennings) in the US version?
