    Security teams at the houses is a new thing? That can't be true, it was perfectly possible to Google back in the day aswell, even on dialup you'd have the answer pretty much instantly. I always assumed there were people in the Phone a Friend houses but now that I think of it how would they know who was going to be selected?

    What is your first impressions on this so far? Do you think it's going well?

    Ricky is doing ok I think. I hope that he doesn't struggle too much with the questions later on in the show. It would be great for him to get very far in this show.

    I'm a bit behind.

    It's all a bit..... slow. Chris Tarrant kept up a smarter pace.

    But so far Clarkson doing an alright job.

    that was a very easy question to anyone that types on regular bases.I didnt know the second question tho never heard that before and I guessed intestines.

    Clarkson doing ok,hopefully he makes it his own,was funny enough when he said he didnt care about the security.

    Only slow due to a slow thick Yorkshireman, the one answering questions.

    I thought that Pork was the right answer P, O & R are on the top row. The letter K is in the middle row.

    L, A & G are on the middle row. E & R are on the top row.

    To spell Cheese, the letters for that word are on multiple rows.

    Salad is the only word to get on a single row.

    The slow Yorkshireman isn't helping, I'll grant you that.

    But Clarkson needs a bit of a kick up the arse and to get on with it. And shut up, it's not about him.

    You should apply for the show. You'd smash it :D

    Dunno about that. Most people I work with can't type and are always freaked out by me continuing to type while I look at them when they talk to me. :D

    Actually finding Clarkson fairly entertaining.

    The qwerty keyboard explains some of its own answer. Qwerty is on the top. I knew that and I knew that asd is the start of the second row and zxc is the start of the bottom and that’s enough to know that lager doesnt work.

    This is the advantage of having got distracted and falling behind at the start - I can fast forward through them!

    I'm slowly but surely catching up.

    Clarkson is very decent.. a bit condescending but honest if nothing else.

    Being told Qwerty is on a row doesnt mean that the ‘lag’ in lager couldnt be if you dont have clue of any of the rows. So it doesnt really explain or help with the answer, you just knew some of the other rows to narrow it down.

    Can't say I'm a fan. Hopefully he'll settle into it a bit, although his style is exactly that of his Top Gear persona, so I'd have my doubts.

    Another ad break????

    I’m merely explaining how I, a non typist, got the answer.

    He was also pushing the Yorkshire guy a few times when he knew he was right to say final answer to be fair. Even if he was taking his time to get there.

    That's always the case with UK/British shows that are shown on Irish TV.

    Someone will probably go through the questions of this revival and compare them with 20 years ago and the number of correct answers to see if people are getting more stupid.
