On Channel 4. Apparently Richard O'brien and Stephen Merchant are hosting.

I hope they don't make the show crap.

I just excitedly went to add it to our planner - only to find its a special celebrity edition (I'm never overly keen on celebrity versions of normal gameshows) in aid of stand up to cancer (dh has inoperable stomach cancer and cancer adverts etc are all just a bit too depressing atm) so I haven't bothered.

I've taken part in the London experience - we were much better! (We also played far more games.)

They may be celebs but not that brainy 😂

I wanted to do the London one. But didn't have enough people interested. Apparently jason if you signed up on your own they would fine you a team.

Indeed they do put you on a team if you book alone. This TV programme is somewhat deadpan - the mazemaster we had bigged it up a lot more, there was a lot more "excitement". It's as if this lot have been briefed to be really quiet.

As Richard o'Brien said to one team: "There's no excitement among you, are you going to be a quiet bunch? That means I have to make a lot of noise."

LIZS · 16/10/2016 21:51

They've tweaked the music Sad

EsmesBees · 16/10/2016 21:53

Why is Sara Cox not getting to play any games?

HairsprayQueen · 16/10/2016 21:53

I'll be in the mumsnet team- I'm fat but quite strong but shit at maths- I'm sure there's a place for me!

Really enjoying tonight, keep finding myself with an inane grin watching it!

Did anyone play at Blackpool back in the day?

IfartInYourGeneralDirection · 16/10/2016 21:55

They should of put them in the old school trackies
