| Can we comment here on what we think of these quizzes? Personally, I can't watch Eggheads any more. I get frustrated because it seems fixed! Pointless is brilliant. I like the format and the presenters are excellent, often very funny. |

I'd agree about Eggheads...........despite looking like there's a choice, the challengers always get the harder questions whilst the Eggheads ponder and look smug whilst answering easy stuff

| I agree entirely. It must be to build up the prize money, and possibly to help out the weaker members of the Eggheads. It always amazes me how Daphne guesses and gets it right. A word in her ear, perhaps? |

| For some reason, radio never occurs to me, yet I'm probably missing out. I must have a look through the schedule. |

Cleverdicks is horrible ego-massaging tripe, and the contestants barely get any questions right. |
