Wordplay on FIVE
Anyone seen this new quiz on FIVE with Jenny Powell ?
Would be good for past/future Countdown contestants. I have been chosen to appear as a contestant in a month's time.

Re: Wordplay on FIVE
Yep saw the first show, figure a few Scrabblers will be on it too.
The final prize is pitiful though. They had all this bit with cheques and a safe that resembled a goldfish bowl and it's £500 if you win. I know it carries over if they don't win but even still - the godawful phone-in competitions they insist on dedicating half of each game show to have bigger prizes.

I've been watching this show since Tuesday and it seems a simple game to pick up. I have sent off an application form, so will keep my fingers crossed .

Does anyone know if FIVE have a watch again feature online or does anyone know where I could see a clip of this show as I'm at work when it's on. Many thanks.Adam Dexter wrote:I'll give it a bash. Anyone know where the studios are? Londinium I presume...

Re: Wordplay on FIVE
From what I understand, it has nothing to do with our Wordplay, but rather the Going for Gold round.
Now that I think about it, did the Going for Gold producers run out of ideas when they came up with the Wordplay round?

Nope, FIVE don't have a watch online feature Kirk. You could pull a sickie then you can watch itKirk Bevins wrote:Does anyone know if FIVE have a watch again feature online or does anyone know where I could see a clip of this show as I'm at work when it's on. Many thanks.

No Wordplay though, probably due to the excessive amount of editing required to hack out the phone in competition stuff.

Re: Wordplay on FIVE
Also there are 4 contestants to begin with and eventually 3 will lose. In Wordplay Plus at 2:50 pm, the 3 people who were on before and lost get to play one round again and the winner gets to come back for a second shot.Craig Beevers wrote:Yep saw the first show, figure a few Scrabblers will be on it too.

Thanks for that, I caught some of this show by chance yesterday and I was wondering whether it actually was him or not.Jojo Apollo wrote:Countdown great Graham Nash was on the show yesterday, seems Jenny Falconer is the new host.

I'll be applying for this fairly soon, looks pretty simple really, hard to win the jackpot though as the AKA and the common word can be pretty tricky and you only have 90 seconds at the end

Re: Wordplay on FIVE
Is there anyway I can watch this episode Sue? I only ever saw one of these (when Dan Peake was on) and it looked quite good, so watching you on there would be the perfect excuse to see another.Sue Sanders wrote:I won £5,000 on 'Perfect Recall' - Can I have a promotion please??Derek Hazell wrote:How many of the intellectuals on these forums will be going on Five's new show, Britain’s Best Brain then?

Hey, re:the Rob Thomas' 'I'm Leaving' thread...Charlie called you a cunt, you suggested 'smashing'. Can I volunteer the happy medium of 'Jon Corby - he's a smashing cunt'.....?

Rob leaves and 'cunt' goes into overdrive. Actually, that doesn't seem to read very well. Can we start using it as a verb? 'Rob had a point. The cunting was getting out of hand'Michael Wallace wrote:Or alternatively, a cunt smasher?

You've left it too late now. They've already filmed the first series. You'll have to hope there is a second one.Kirk Bevins wrote:How does one apply?

The show has that playalongathomeability (apart from a couple of physical rounds), so is good for us viewers to test our brain power and memory skills too.

Re: Wordplay on FIVE
Sadly, according to Metro, although I can't find anything online, Britain's Best Brain has been axed after just the one series.
