Anyone watching this? I set this quiz series to record as my husband is a fan of Lucy Worsley. I find her irritating but her history programs are usually quite good. Unfortunately I find her extremely irritating presenting this quiz as it a rip off of ‘Only Connect’. It might be more interesting if Lucy didn’t keep waving her arms around as if she doesn’t know what to do with them. The contestants seem to be intelligent and some of the questions are tricky , I’ll probably watch a few more episodes to see if the presenting improves.

I’m watching it. I enjoyed the first one and I think it’s better than Only Connect. It’s difficult to enjoy a quiz if you find the presenter irritating. I don’t mind Lucy Worsley. She comes across to me as enthusiastic. I hope your viewing experience improves.

Watched this tonight, didn’t see first one. Enjoyed it, interesting range of questions, didn’t compare it to OC, more to Richard Osman’s House of Games with each round quite different to the last. Couldn’t do the maths round, but had a stab at some of the others.

I wasn't overly keen, mainly cos 2 of the rounds were subjects I don't enjoy, maths and memory. I don't get much right in OC but I find that much more entertaining. The contestants were nice though.

Starting watching last night. Lucy can be a bit too enthusiastic for me. A bit like a labrador puppy. But enjoyed it. Hopeless at the maths (always have been). Will watch again next week.

Just watched the second episode, Lucy Worsley is still annoying so I’m trying to ignore her, quite enjoying the quiz although I can’t answer many of the questions particularly the maths and memory. I will persevere watching it and hopefully if this gets a second series Lucy might stop waving her arms about.

Episode 2 was repeated last night. I enjoyed it, couldn’t cope with the calculation questions in the time allowed, but it was a cheerful programme

Just watched this for the first time. I thought bringing together strangers to form a team was a bit odd, normally teams form themselves and are made up of people with different strengths, so I couldn't see the purpose of this - why not pitch them against each other from the start? I also thought it was too long, half an hour would have been better. But yes, it was cheerful. And yes, Lucy should stop waving her arms around!

I really dislike the calculations round. Making someone keep trying to answer the same sort of question till they get one right is nasty, not everyone can cope with numbers and one of the women looked quite distressed
It’s a shame, because otherwise it’s enjoyable

Me too, Sleepy. If I was in a team I'd wipe us out in that round.
