Not sure if anyone watched episode 2 of 'Alan Carr's Picture Slam' on BBC One this evening (September 23rd)

I did. Thank you for asking.
The second episode still had a few moments where the production team were slow at operating the graphics.

The decision to have Carr ask a question for every picture seems like something that should have been dropped early in development too. When a picture of Sir Cliff Richard appears it doesn't require Alan Carr to say "Name this singer".

The question is obvious, it's the same question everything, "Can you please say out loud the principle subject of this image?". On at least one occasion a contest had already answered correctly before Carr had got the question out and the graphics didn't move on until the contestant repeated the answer and Alan Carr said "Yes". Makes it seem very slow at times.

Disallowing the answer "Melanie Chisholm" when they wanted "Melanie C" seemed like an instance of a poorly prepared question. The justification was that the round was 'Bodies of Water' so the c/sea homophone was required. Just use Billy Ocean next time. Should I expect to see a 'Household Pets' round with a picture of Yusuf Islam before the end of the series?

The last point to note is that during the final, the clock jumped from 19 seconds back up to 21. I couldn't even speculate as to why, the clock, the board and the contestants were all in vision at the time, there didn't appear to be an edit at that point.

None of these things affected the game on this occasion but it all seems very sloppy for a BBC One Saturday night show.

I'll probably watch episode 3 though.
