This Sky TV programme is being repeated on Sky 3 (which I get on Freeview in the middle of the night.
Each new contestant yelps and whoops and wriggles and writhes as they enter and do high 5s and handshakes to as many of the 'trader' as possible before they reach the stage.
As for their knowledge......
Well, somehow the programme makers have been able to find 60-odd people who know nothing. These mostly irritating contestants are mostly thick.
Incredibly so.
One over-talktative and rather affected young man did not know the name of Shakespeare's play "The Merchant of ________". (He was going to be a teacher.)
I like Gethin Jones, but all the other people in sight must be some of the worlds most unintelligent annoyances.

Well to be fair I thought War and Peace was a newspaper until I was corrected.

I thought Hard Times was a 'specialist' publication.

That's why I watch it too Peter C.

Everybody else is far too irritating.

Another Shakespeare question was to name the 'prince of Denmark'.

I wouldn't expect 'masterminds' but I would expect a certain standard because after all they hope to win up to £25000 based on general knowledge.
