Kicking television

Apologies for that chocolate-based nastiness. Time for more wholesome things on here I think.

First, some exciting news! Those who enjoyed Tombola's appearance on Eggheads last year will no doubt be delighted to learn that another TV quiz appearance is on the cards. Here's an exclusive behind the scenes reminder of what the last one looked like:

and as we appeared in the nation's living rooms:


Filming of the BRAND NEW! show takes place in Cardiff next week. Watch this space.....

What quiz what quiz? It is another team appearance? Family Fortunes? Knitters special of Weakest Link? University Challenge?! Or you going it alone? Mastermind? Gladiators? Big Brother?!

Best of luck in Cardiff, Prof.

PS Bring back Krypton factor.

Tombola said...

hahaha, krypton factor was ace. Didn't they actually try bringing that back a couple of years ago? got a vague memory but might be wrong.

I'll reveal all at a later date!

Maintaining the mystery, eh?

I don't recall any Kryton Factors of recent years, but I shall have to consult at least one of my two trustworthy sources: wikipedia and Munch.

Wikipedia says: Since its cancellation, The Krypton Factor has been the subject of persistent rumours of a revival on the BBC. In April 2005, it was widely reported that the BBC would be going ahead with a revival. However, the source of this story turned out to be a misinterpretation of comments by Wayne Garvie, head of BBC's Entertainment Group (and previously the last producer on The Krypton Factor) naming it as the next "TV gem" that should be revived.

Well said, Wayne Garvie.

Anything to add, Munch?!

Minor update: on Saturday I watched the pilot episode we had been given. It has got me feeling scared - there is a lot of 'humourous' banter at the beginning, followed by ample opportunities to look an idiot in the actual quiz. :o(

I leave for Cardiff this evening x
