Generation Game

Will you give it a go?
I think Mel and Sue are really funny
But is it too tired a format?

Re: Generation Game

I think they would be good at it. I've enjoyed every single presenter on the Generation Game, Bruce Forsyth, Larry Grayson, Jim Davidson and Graham Norton but for me the best ever presenter was Bruce Forsyth, no one can touch him for his presenting skills in my eyes. I'd definitely watch it with Mel and Sue, it's a fun programme and anything fun can only be a good thing considering all the doom and gloom thats on TV these days.

Gave it about three minutes until Johnny Vegas did my head in and I had to turn it off.

Re: Generation Game

Wouldn't watch the rubbish if you paid me. There was only one guy for this type of show and he has now left us.

Mups, l agree, l can’t stick them!

Did anyone watch that even worse show ‘Change Your Tune’ on ITV at about the same time?
I only watched a bit of it, as it was shockingly dreadful!!

Re: Generation Game

Same old format, even down to the cuddly toy, I doubt that I will be watching it again

Re: Generation Game

The Generation Game relies heavily on the skill of the presenter. Sadly Mel and Sue are nowhere near for that show.

Several newspapers this morning report that the studio audience were so underwhelmed by their attempt at humour, that they had to used canned laughter to help out.

The format itself is outdated. I used to watch every Saturday night in the past, but I don't think that I will again now. It probably would have been better to repeat some of the old ones.

Re: Generation Game

I didn't watch it either, have never liked the show. Talk about jobs for the boys (or girls in this case) by the BBC. Compensation for them being ousted from that baking programme?

Sue Perkins may have just scraped by on her own but the format won't work with a duo at the helm.
