Imagine being in the audience of Mastermind. The expectation to be deadly silent and respectful is too much. Brexit claims yet another victim and it's the general public who will pay the price. We could be looking at ride-on lawnmowers costing upwards of £2.4m if things keep going the way they're headed. With Brexit looming, the price of goods will fluctuate beyond a recognisable parameter.
It's a great show, but we've had our fun. It's been on and off our screens since 1984 and it feels like we're coming close to the time where we can finally lay The Price Is Right to rest. This show isn't as dramatic as it should be, is what I'm saying.
Watch Phillip Schofield get flustered, carefully examining his cue cards for the correct thing to say when the wife walks off stage saying "I don't know why we bother" after her husband gets every question about her wrong. We get it! You are married! It should be compulsory for all couples featured on Don't Tell The Bride to appear on Mr & Mrs five years into their marriage, just so we can see how deeply the contempt for one another has developed after their complete shit show of a wedding took place. Chips is doing something seemingly suggestive, but that's it. The only redeeming quality of Catchphrase in this day and age is when Mr. Chips should be 305 in human years now, but he's still chipping away at his day job on that obnoxiously large screen. HOW HAVE THEY NOT RUN OUT OF CATCHPHRASES BY NOW? It's been on telly since 1986 and Mr Chips is still finding catchphrase-friendly activities to do throughout every show. The whole point of a game show is for the viewer to spit dinner all over themselves as they shout answers at the TV, but with University Challenge, you have to take on the role of a silent observer, hearing nothing but the sound of your own shortcomings as a person. Obviously it is targeted at Dads, smart people and university students whose friends are on the show, so if you fall outside of that remit, you're probably going to have a hard time participating in proceedings. This show can be very isolating to watch if, like me, you are an idiot.
