I’d love to stay and chat but I’ve actually got some sort of drinking invitational to go this evening – you know how it is, I’m sure. However in better news, my VPN supplier has now opened up a French VPN, so expect lots of write-ups of French shows you’d have to pay to watch over the next few weeks (sneak preview: they’ve changed the set for Des Chiffres et Des Lettres, and it’s so good the furniture obscures the score monitors).
Onwards with tonight then:
- Epic Win (5:30pm, BBC1)
- Celebrity Masterchef (6:10, BBC1)
- All Star Family Fortunes – Cheryl Baker vs Trevor Nelson (7pm, ITV1)
- Schlag den Raab – €1.5m to be defended tonight, to be decided by a game of Buckaroo. (7:15 UK time, ProSieben and hopefully internet streaming)
- Secret Fortune (8pm, BBC1)
- The X Factor (8pm, ITV1)
- The Million Pound Drop – Only 80 minutes tonight, but starring Jack Whitehall and his celeb agent dad. Gave away £325,000 last night to two couples although the questions felt a bit easier than normal. (9pm, C4)
- Big Brother (10:15pm, Five)
Feel free to have a chat about any of those here. I know Schlag den Raab usually gets a show discussion post, but my gut feeling suggests they should probably be saved for the first episodes of new and returning shows. We’ll see how it turns out.
Looks like they have 2 balls to drop and catch.
And after a going to the adjuciator for the last throw – Gil takes it for 1.5 million euro!
Until October 15th, everyone…
Give me one moment in time
When I’m racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be
I will be
I will be free
I will be
I will be free
The tie-breaker wasn’t really the most visual game you can have with the balls being so small.
What is the betting that bouncing ball game will be used on The Cube soon?
Heh, yeah, I can see it now.
‘Dual Bounce’ – Can you drop and catch 2 rubber balls with only one hand? They’re just bouncy balls, but they’re in THE CUBE!!!
I missed a 60-60 game for work.
I freaking quit.
Thanks very much for that Andy and others.
You’re welcome 🙂
Uh… all you did was talk about over-40s on MPD… 😕 😕
No problem, Brig. Always happy to help.
TPiR Season 40 premieres today.
Opens with something so shocking, I think it may have made 5% of America’s senior population fall and can’t get up.
New game on the Italian version of The Cube this week, taken from the iPhone/iPad version. From the wikis: “Invert is a game that has not yet featured on the programme (but may feature in the proposed 4th series), and requires the player to turn 15 cylinders from their white sides to their red sides in a set amount of time.”
