IMO There's enough General Knowledge based shows already on TV that we don't actually need any more.

Reading up on 100% on UKGameshows.com and it turns out that CJ de Mooi won a DVD player on 100% Sex.

I'm assuming you mean me as the unscrupulous cheat, but I didn't actually come 3rd, I came 5th. You assume wrong (guilty conscience, perhaps?) - I was referring to Frank "I'd feel guilty if I'd overtaken Kirk, but beating everyone else is fair game" Rodolf. I'm not pleased with myself tha...

Just to ensure my lasting legacy, I, and not Mr/Mrs TBA, finished runner-up in the December standings. I believe an unscrupulous cheat finished third, so with them ignored, Ben Wilson should be duly promoted to the bronze position.

Awesome review Gary

I remember having to go all the way to Runcorn just to get my hands on this game

(the original).

I actually played the Deluxe version too during lunch break at COLIN (2008 I think it was) but I only used it for the number games.
