    This quiz is a favourite of mine and it is presented by Victoria Coren.

    I didn't see it this week, but I do like Only Connect.

    I also like the online Connecting Wall games. Very tough, but it's great when you can solve them!

    Didn't even notice it was back on (barely watch the TV), but thankfully a reliable person has uploaded it to YouTube last night.

    One thing I will say, and this is probably something more suited to /r/britishproblems - the new font on the clues is really throwing me off :confused:

    It's the graphics that have been changed - the font on them is the same as before.

    Well yea, I did notice the graphics, but they definitely have done some stuff with the font that'll take a while to get used to. It all looks a bit... thinner, less bold, reduced line-spacing etc. Compare S11E1 with the final of S10:

    Nothing wrong with being pedantic about a gameshow that practically thrives on being pedantic :P
