The Generation Game

Yes, I think you're right chelseababy

Is it a reward for not going to the new Bake Off? Mary Berry got a new series too.

think its past its sell by date,they must have resurrected it becauuse they've run out of ideas..and seemingly talent to host it too.Wont be watching again .

Yes; did anyone watch the programme about him last week?

Don't forget the fabulous Larry Grayson!

I never watched it, but I gather Bruce Forsyth made it his own. Whilst I appreciate he's not everyone's cup of tea, I think in some contexts he could ad lib very well. I don't like Mel and Sue as a comedy pairing, I think they can be okay ish individually, but way too much reliance on innuendo, quite honestly I just don't find them funny, a very mediocre double act imo.

Not my scene. I never could abide Bruce Forsyth. All his silly posturing and catch phrases at which we are supposed laugh uprorously.
I'm a grumpy old beggar today.

We didn't know that there was a new Generation Game programme, until we saw a snippet on Gogglebox. it was awful.

I watched the first one but thought it was dire! Bruce Forsyth had a way with the contestants which Mel and Sue do not, especially in the final 'drama'. I shall not be watching again.

It was dire imo! I love Mel and Sue and hope they see the light and refuse to have anything else to do with it.

Do you think maybe we were more easily pleased a few years back?
Light entertainment has come a long way. We have to watch people eating pigs gonads these days, or having a nervous breakdown in a house full of narcissists, to be entertained!

I used to enjoy it but agree that Bruce Forsyth was great with the contestants, and it all seemed so natural and effortless.

I still think it could be quite entertaining but it seems so overwrought at the moment. I doubt it will get another chance to shine after this series.

I'm not keen on Mel or Sue, so that would put me off, I think.

Yes, it all seemed a bit too contrived.

No-one will match Brucie's presentation of the Generation Game and his asides to the camera as the sometimes hapless contestants made a hash of trying the tasks.

I think they have only made 3 episodes which could be quite enough, although DGS seemed to enjoy it - but he's only 9!
