I saw the first episode on YouTube. I quite like the idea, but it seems a bit corny to have to say "I'm a Cleverdick because...". Also, on the first episode, David Stainer was much better than everyone else, yet in the next round got no bonus or advantage for doing so well. I don't like Ann as a host either.
Quite a few familiar faces are turning up on this, no Countdowners yet that I recognised but several Masterminders. Ann is pleasant to her candidates, which makes a nice change after The Weakest Link, and the questions are satisfyingly tough. I wouldn't want to watch it in real time, but FFing through the chit-chat makes it quite enjoyable.
