I have just read spacemafia's review, and while I believe he is right in theory, my guess is that ITV have some kind of solution to that flaw.
Anyway, the flaw which I spotted, and the reason I have given it only one star is the unfairness of the format.
There are 5 contestants. The host ( Anita Rani) asks aquestion. The first to buzz in gets the chance to answer that and other questions till he or she gets to 12 or the claxon goes. Whichever comes first. Wouldn't it be fairer if it was an open buzzer system?
Tha winner of that round goes forward to the fastest finger first part using the same format as who wants to be a millionaire.
The problem is the same player can play that part over again and win the majority the rounds and have it taken away from them in the last one bysomeone who barely answered any questions. Probably a quiz show version of being mugged.
Surly it would be fairer to have just 2 rounds of open buzzer questions and and one round of fastest finger first with the 2 winners of the qestion rounds.
BUt no. ITV won't do that because then the show wouldn't be long enough, and they wouldn't get enough advertising. Basically, and I know tv channels need commercials to survive, I see adverts as an intrusion. I would't have such a problem with it if they spent it on improving their dramas.
As I have written elsewhere on this site, tv channels around the world show ads. Australia and The USA for example have ad breaks but produce high quality drama. Why can't the UK commercial channels do the same. Compare to BBC dramas, the dramas on UK commercila channels are waterd down.
ITV must spend a lot of money on shows such as the voice UK and epic gameshow and the masked singer which are quite good quality productions. So why can't they do the same with their dramas. Why?
It annoys me that they come up with good ideas and spoil them by really poor productions.
I hope some big boss at ITV and other UK commercils stations are reading this and finally do somethong about it, because they really believe their dramas are high quality. They are not.
