I know it's just the celebrity version this week and they're appearing for charity but when one of the "specialist" subjects is "The Only Way Is Essex" I think we've reached the bottom of the barrel, haven't we? Laughing

Too late to edit I have never seen TOWIE just a glance at the show if flicking through is enough to make one feel ill.  Still it has made some people very rich Undecided

The first time I saw 'Towie' I thought it was quite good acting but a rather lack-lustre script - to put it mildly.  Then someone explained to me that it wasn't acting and it wasn't exactly scripted.  The whole thing went down even further in my estimation - I certainly couldn't watch it more than a few times.

My hats off to the celebrity who could have 'TOWIE' as their specialist subject.  It takes enough stamina to commit to watch it week in, week out, let alone remember all the drivel that goes on in between.  Laughing  Just my personal opinion, of course!!

Doh!

I've just got the connection.

Towie = The Only Way Is Essex.

Mind you I've never watched either!

You should put your foot down David and show her who's the boss! (Carol, obviously!! Laughing)

I think that all quiz programmes when doing a 'Celebrity' version dumb the questions down.....a) To prevent the 'Celebrities' looking too stupid and b) To raise a bit more money for their charities!  Laughing

...I am sure they do.   Only when it comes to the general knowledge I am amazed what some of them just don't know.....
