How good was the season finale...
...to the people's quiz?
Such drama, such tension, such pulse generating tension. I had travelled on a journey with these people in my need for Doctor Who to start earlier. Such a variety of difficult questions to help find the brightest, cleverest, brainiest people in Britain. If you didn't know who starred in the 2004 Film 'Shall we Dance' with Richard Gere, you are obviously not worthy of the show (it's Jennifer Lopez). In the end a modern day suffragette won the show, the man (William G Stewart) tried to get her down by saying only a man could win it, but boy was his face red! Now thanks to the winner of the people's quiz, maybe women will get the vote soon.
Jamie Theakston proved to be a charistmatic host, a man the contestants loved. In the season finale a student failed to score any points of the brain chain, Jamie being the lovely chap he is enquired as to the students BITTER FAILURE "What went wrong? Nerves?" "I just didn't know the answers" Wonderful banter! A favourite bit of Jamie banter I enjoyed over all the other banter was during the hit spin off show on BBC2, when he met a lovely gentlemen who with the awsome advantage of MATHS was able to work out the day when assulted with a date from the past century. The banter between the two men I loved, and have commited to memory.
"What's your date of birth?"
"21 December 1977" said Jamie.
"1977?" says the contestant in a stilted way, trying to hide the fact he's dealing with scripted banter.
"Oh okay" says Jamie in a mocking jokey 'Oh my gosh' way "1970"
"Tuesday"
"That's amazing, I have no idea if you're right"
For all we know he could have been talking shit, he could have, but he had the awsome advantage of MATHS, probably the reason he didn't end up on the final show because MATHS isn't for quizes, celebritiy knowledge is.
Back to the season finale, oh what excitement at various points I was literally shouting at my screen for some montages! Come on Montages! Feature some Snow Patrol! I want crying as well! And you know what? The geniuses at the people's quiz were happy force in as many montages as permited in the hour long fun spectaculor.
So in conclusion I went on a powerful journey with the people of the people's quiz, and my saturdays won't be the same without it. Role on the next season!

:D i liked the people's quiz, it was naff but becaus doctor who was on after you had to watch to prepare yourself for all that tension :D
I too have been watching it for the exact same reason, although despite watching at least 3 episodes I still have literally no clue how the quiz worked. What were they saving? What did they win? Who is that Theakston man?!
Dan - Oh I hope so, I'd very much like to hear behind the creative process from that Thekaston chap.
Chezza - Naff fun it was! A lovely stepping stone to the fun of Doctor Who.
Loo - In answer to your question, they were saving Jamie Theakston's life, they were winning the contents of Jamie Theakston's stomach, and Jamie Theakston is bigger than Jesus.
