Itv new quiz Jeopardy hosted by Stephen Fry

It’s stolen directly from a very successful USA show of the same name. Stay with it, it stops being so irritating once you get used to it

I agree with those who said it was awful or boring. I won't watch again. I enjoy things like the 1% Club.

I think it is awful. Stephen Fry is so dry and not very good. I won't be watching it again.

Why do they have to put that silly question at the front of every answer that irritated me to start with

I looked in on it half way through and thought I must have missed some sort of explanation at the beginning.

I agree, it’s irritating.

Couldn’t watch it. Don’t like the format and I can’t stand Stephen Fry

I saw Stephen Fry on anAmerican series called Bones recently. He was playing a British psychiatrist to absolute perfection

They keep saying that Jeopardy’s is new to UK TV. It isn’t! I was on it 20 odd years ago, filmed by Southern TV but transmitted nationally. No I didn’t win any money 😟

I generally like Stephen Fry in his various acting roles and when he did QI. But I find him deadly dull on Jeopardy

I like Stephen Fry and enjoy this quiz

Not for me, can’t stand Stephen Fry on anything.

I didn’t enjoy the first episode as I was rallying against answering a question with a question. I recorded episode two and watched it this afternoon. I really enjoyed it and went with the flow. Stephen Fry is an excellent host.

The answers and questions don’t always tie up either. For example, today the contestants were given a quotation, then had to say, for example, Who is Rupert Brooke? It makes no sense.

DH isn’t happy that it’s replaced Tipping Point!

I watched half of yesterday's show. I also found the way of answering very irritating, so turned off.

I do like Stephen Fry and I am going to give this quiz a chance. Love The Chase but that has got a bit tired lately, Pointless is much better on BBC.

Wasn't this on ages ago? I'm sure I remember it in the 70s.

Yes it was. There were no cash prizes then just points.
They win millions on the US version.

Ah well easy to turn off which I have I won’t watch it again
🥱🥱

Each to their own - I really like it

Yes, we watched yesterday and didn’t think much of it.
Dare I say we found it too easy! Not something we would normally feel about a good quiz.

My main gripe with this quiz is that it goes on far too long. I lost interest halfway through.

The US version has been running for 60 years, so it must have something.

I gave it a try and think it's quite tedious. No jeopardy at all. Apart from The Chase, I think that BBC quizzes are better. Knowledge and/or fun rather than big cash prizes.

I wasn’t keen. The questions are of a decent standard, but I found the idea of “answering with a question” a bit odd and tiresome.

I stuck at it for about ten minutes and then turned it off.

I’m with Bluebelle - don’t like it one wee bit
