Finally! Something new!
Actually, I first heard about this after it aired, looked it up on YouTube, and made a mental note to come back to it. Time flies by so quickly these days that by the time I remembered it again, it was over 6 months later, ha ha.
Never heard of this British game show before. I've been watching a lot of weird British game shows lately, as I've ventured down another path, having become a little infatuated with yet another interesting British guy named Noel Fielding. And he's on a LOT of game shows. And what I've found is that they ALL seem to be pointless. Scoring never makes sense, no one ever seems to win anything huge, but then no one takes them very seriously either. Using them more as a vehicle for doing comedy, which is fun.
This one also has a very confusing scoring system which I was trying to comprehend as I went along. The goal was to score the lowest points while answering trivia questions. But not just answering, trying to answer as a bunch of polled people did not answer. Or something like that.
Well, anyway. Robin looked great. It was wonderful to see his happy face! The only other contestant I recognized was Les McKeown of the Bay City Rollers! The band I was embarrassingly a huge fan of when I was about 8-11.
Spoiler alert ahead!!!!
Les and partner were eliminated pretty early on. Robin and partner WON! Robin really is very smart about knowing what's what, that's for sure. Only there was a weird twist at the end where they didn't win the full prize for their charities because on the last question they didn't guess the answer which no one had not guessed. That's a lot of negatives for one sentence, so I'm sure I didn't say it correctly.
Anyway, it was a fun watch. He should do more of the game show / panel show type programs! There's so many of them and he is a likeable personality that would fit right in on any of them.
