Michael Sheen is apparently hosting the next series, I can’t quit imagine it, it feels like quite a departure for him and for the show. Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s a brilliant actor but just can’t picture it.

I too especially like Where is Kazakhstan and I’m Terrible at Dating. DH likes the music ones. DS likes the limerick one.
I don’t think Michael Sheen is doing too bad a job but I think the beard sort of ‘fuzzes’ his facial expressions, and there’s something not right about the chair. It seems a bit too wide for him. And I think he has forgotten that it swivels - he seems to be leaning to the left a lot to look at the screen.

I think he's doing a good job. Big shoes to fill (literally).

I really miss Richard. I don’t mind Michael but he’s a bit dull.

Just came onto to MN to see if there was a thread on this. I don’t get to watch the show very often but do enjoy it when I catch it. I think Michael Sheen is a terrible replacement for RO. Some of the new games are quite dull and MS just sounds bored to be there. I won’t be tuning in again.

@RhubarbAndMustardI agree, some of the new games are rubbish. MS is trying hard but it's not a 'fit' and it's no longer as much fun.

Some of the games must be great fun for the players but don't do much for me particularly Flamingo, Pot Plant, Middlemarch, Password123 (which goes on forever) and House Rules.

I only really watch it for the classics Where is Kazakhstan? and I'm Terrible at Dating.

oh, we love house rules, I'd terrible at dating tho

I like the music games. Name that tune, the intros, and the changed lyrics. I also like where is Kazakhstan. I’m astonished at how many of them are clueless about geography, especially UK geography.

Richard was a very hard act to follow. He’s very witty and very intelligent. Poor Michael was never going to match up.

I prefer MS to RO. RO was a bit know it all sometimes. MS is low-key, gently witty. Good choice.

Only seen a couple of episodes but so far I'm loving MS. He seems very relaxed and amiable. I'm a fan of his ever since he did the Assembly though.
