Ian is good! Enjoying this very much and Ken is just so kind and welcoming
I agree, Ken is an excellent presenter and puts contestants at their ease. Ian from Bathgate was incredibly knowledgeable. It's a very well put together quiz, but quite difficult.
Hello 👋 granfromafar, yes I agree it is very difficult on the TV version. I think the radio quiz is getting harder too, or maybe that's because it takes me longer to recall the answers I know. Well done on your Onr Year Out! T-shirt!
I've watched both episodes and think it's a lot harder than the radio version, which I try and listen to every day. I did the radio version a few years back and have the t-shirt to prove it! Wouldn't be brave enough to apply for the TV version though!,
I see that Phil ' The Collector ' Swern is an executive producer, along with Ken Bruce and Zoe Tait. I think he's been involved with Popmaster from the very beginning, he also works with Tony Blackburn's Sounds of the 60s and Johnny Walker's Sounds of the 70s, quite a legend.
I agree, Visgirl, like you I enjoyed the Original Popmaster at the finale, but a bit unsure about the new rounds. Anyway, I love a quiz, especially a pop quiz, so I'll series link it so that I can watch it without the ads.
I'm enjoying it, nadateturbe, although it's a very different format. It is quite difficult, Pittcity, especially the year, I'd be lucky to get 'one year out!' Didn't realise that there would be advert breaks, we didn't get that on Radio 2 📻
