It's funny too when the presenters get really impatient and pissed off with the callers.

Play TV plays you.

This broadcast has been brought to you by Chuckles Norris.

Chuck Norris can actually make a profit from calling Play TV.

glad to see what George Hook thinks of it on his twitter, from what he said about it on his show the other day (before he looked) I got the impression he did not find the complaints as being serious.

I remember one night the question was "something white" and the clue was you will find it in the kitchen. It was Citric Acid (or some other acidic mineral from fruit).

Best one was the time the UK authorities pulled up their version on ITV.... Question: Something you can find in a handbag. Solutuion: Spark Plugs.

And yea, I have called......:(

Edit to add - I heard on the radio that all these shows for many european coutnries are shot in a big warehouse out in the East European direction and the presenters are flown over - is this correct?

I remember hearing about that one. I think Balaclava was another of the solutions

I wonder do they keep the presenters in cages. Perhaps Stephen Segal could burst that eastern european human play tv trafficing scam wide open with a tin of whoop ass and one liners then film it and give it an abstract name just like in Out of Reach

And a cheesy tagline

"They thought he had no chance of winning.... They were wrong"
