OMG they have resurrected the generation game.

It was crap and amateur hour TV and well past its sell by date when the BBC last canned
it. Why do the BBC medja experts believe that after period of absence on our screens
makes it any better?

Nothing to do "medja experts" whoever they are.

The decision will have been taken by accountants. The big stars of
programmes like GG are members of the public who may or may not
make fools of themselves. Who apart from any prizes and travelling
expenses cost very little.

Whether it happens to be to your taste of not sufficiently large numbers
of joe public like watching their fellow members of the public
making fools of themselves, for such formats to be worthwhile.
If its up against Ant and Dec then they've got their work cut out
in any case. They might as well transmit the test card.

I assume this was on BBC1 on Saturday Night. To be honest with you
anyone who expects either of the main channels BBC1 or ITV to
broadcast anything challenging on prime time on Saturdays must
have either been in a coma or in solitary confinement for the past
30 years. Both main channels are a bit of a dead zone nowadays,
even more so on weekends.

There's a NewsGroup devoted to TV called uk.media.tv. misc
which used to be quite lively but seems to be dying off a bit,
which you might like to try.
