Here’s my review of the The Chase app, currently on the app store for £1.49 – we don’t tend to mention prices in these reviews because there’s no telling what it’s going to be on any given day. Strike it Lucky came out today as well, a full review in due course but my advice would be save your cash.
So something left me fuming this evening. No, it wasn’t the 21 Questions Wrong CHRISTMAS SPECIAL (on Fifty 50 Show this Christmas Eve!) it was in fact LIVE Who Wants to be a Millionaire? Tonight we had Des O Connor and Lee Mack win £150k, Rosemary Schrager and Hugo Taylor win £20k and JB and Oritsé from JLS win £50k when the time ran out. So who had the brilliant idea of putting the guys the kidz will tune in for in the last hurried cut-short slot especially as it turned out they were much MUCH smarter than you might have expected? Who knew that JLS were mates with Robert Winston? They were BRILLIANT and if ITV were on the ball they’d have let it run over and pushed the news. I don’t think Millionaire has ever left me so angry or baffled.
I would have hoped they’d get to continue in a pre-record they can play out on the New Year’s Special. Failing that, it’d be rude not to invite all four of them onto The Celebrity Chase, on the basis of tonight it’d be epic.
Incidentally, final Pointless filming at TVC tomorrow, I’m informed it’s moving to Elstree in the New Year.
in 2010 Paolo Bonolis was hosting Ciao Darwin, when he met this little man…

Has anyone been keeping count of the number of needless goofs that have been made on WWTBAM since it went live?
It’s not the first time that a game has been cut short just because transmission time is up – and, of course, it’s happened at least twice that a question for £50k or less has clearly been answered after the clock has reached zero.
I’m pretty sure this has been said before, but it’s sad to see Millionaire in this state – once the biggest show on television, now going a similar way to Million Pound Drop and The Bank Job and turning out to be little better than either.
The monkeys probably don’t care, though – and no doubt they’ll disagree if someone tells them that there really can’t be many more drops left to milk out of the show.
