    Some people think that the name Tipping Point refers to the show's use of penny drop machines. It's actually the point at which they stopped pretending to have ordinary people preferring to stuff the programme with idiots so that the wider mass of idiots who watch ITV can actually feel better about themselves. It's quite sad really.

    These are both great.......but nothing beats my 2 all time favourites from Family Fortunes (I'm sure they must already be referenced somewhere on this thread).....

    'We asked 100 people to name something red. You answered..... My cardigan'

    We were cracking up when he said that. 

    Wondered if Big Narstie was playing up being thick but probably not.

    I’ve been on a radio quiz and after a rocky start did ok. It’s hard when you’re under pressure to always come up with an answer so please give a bit of leeway to those who choose to participate.

    I saw it mate. The woman who won it was from south east London originally. I say "won it", she bumbled her way through with no clue what she was doing. Which seems to be the exact type of contestant they want on there.

    I’m too young to watch Blankety Blank. I did see The Wheel for the first time last week. I think it is the worst programme I’ve ever watched. Does anybody actually enjoy The Wheel?

    In a very slight defence of The Wheel, it does generally end with someone winning big dough. When The Wall is on invariably it ends in tears with couples leaving with nothing. I suppose both have entertainment value.

    Have never managed to watch more than 5 minutes of this excruciating bilge. The worst thing about catching a glimpse of this, is that it throws up a little reminder from my subconscious of a time when I actually thought Michael McInyre was funny. Then I start to question myself as a sentient being.

    Not a specific answer, but just watched some actor called Adam Thomas on The celebrity Chase. Pretty unbelievable. Did make me wonder who would win in a game of trivial pursuit between him and Joey Essex.

    Not quite the same but good old Bob Monkhouse on one of his game shows -

    BM - "How many bones in the human body?"
    Contestant - Takes a guess
    BM - "It's 206. I've got 306, but I had kippers for breakfast"

    Was telling my Mrs that on the phone this morninng and we both pissed ourselves for about 5 minutes

    Bob Monkhouse was a hugely underappreciated talent. 
    Kind of a shame that he’s mainly remembered for being a game show host, because he was an exceptional stand up. And a good, if rather odd, person too, apparently.
