I enjoy this quiz however as time goes on CJ irritates me more and more each time he appears.

Me too, Chris. That bored look and sigh makes me want to slap him :-(

The faces he pulls when anyone from either team gives a wrong answer and he is not perfect - he is lousy on British geography and appears proud of it.

I'll hold him down, you smack him!!

With pleasure Chris. When he rolls his eyes I get very annoyed - as you say he's not perfect. I also get annoyed when he says he hasn't a clue to the answer then appears to guess and gets it right. He seems to think that's cute and funny.

I find the camera angles/lighting, do them no favours at all,
Judith to me always looks like she's "on something"!!
and yes I DO feel for the challengers, speshully when they lose out in the final sudden death!

CJ, irritating.

But, Daphne. Oooooh, if she answers wrongly, she blusters.

But woe betide anyone else who answers wrong. She tuts, shakes her head and rolls her eyes.

Clever clogs.

Ugh! The engratiating Jeremy Vine constantly consulting with the eggheads on wrong answers from the challengers but never the reverse. Talk about ego massage :-\

Why does "I'm a vegetarian" CJ throw a hissy when he gets the food questions and there's one about meat? For heavens sake! I've been veggie all my adult life but would be able to answer meat related questions without making a song and dance!

I agree Rita, we have watched this programme for some time and it always seems the eggheads get the easier questions at the end. Glad it's not just us that think this.

Agree with you all, don't watch any more, prefer The Chase at least they play with humour and can laugh at themselves.
