Did anyone have the misfortune to watch TV3 last night from 12 midnight to 3am. I turned over at about 12.15 to see some annoying yoke giving away €100 for answering anagrams. The all too obvious answer was J-E-L-L-Y-F-I-S-H. I had to switch it off quickly.
Its like TV3 looked at the worst muck Sky put on late at night and said "I'll have some of that thanks".
€1.50 per/min to ring in.
There should be a law against this type of show it's clearly aimed at drunk people just in from the pub .
Seriously TV3 are just trying to make up for the shortfall in advertysing revenue and this is the best idea they can come up with along with those godawful multiple choice quizes they do on and between shows. In fairness to the organisers the most you can rack up on phone charges in one night is €75
It is very obvious that when an answer is easy no phone calls get through to the studio. When the answer is difficult or near impossible then the phone doesn't ring for 20/30 minutes as they rack up the profit.
It really is awful TV and should be banned.
