ABC is 0 for how many on imported game show hosts?

Ant and Dec say "hi."

The reason Brian Dunkleman was almost famous.

I watched this Sunday and thought it was clever.  It makes you think more than most game shows of recent years.

And I bring this up as one of the three fans of Bruce Forsyth's Hot Streak.

I rather enjoyed it myself. Great theme too.

Is there a clear copy of the theme anywhere?

I thought that the questions were easier than the premiere, as there were a few occasions where I figured out the answer before the team did which didn't happen at all last week.

It seemed to me that there were too many "light bulb moments" happening right after the 30-second point; I got the feeling that the producers told them to throw around wrong answers for the first 30 seconds.  I can think of two reasons for this; it prevents the contestants agreeing on an answer early and then having 45 seconds of silence, and it gives the viewers 30 seconds to see if they can come up with the answer.

You would think that at least one of them would have known the story behind "Steal My Thunder" and would have known the answer the second the question was read.

Well, that's why they get people who know each other; usually those people are more used to spitballing with each other to see if ideas stick. Besides, even if we thought we knew the answer, I'd still want people to throw things out there in case we missed something; there a million dollars at stake.

To reply to your spoiler, I thought the exact same thing, but about the Fruit of the Loom question...and I don't even buy the stuff.

I'm liking this show so far, the questions have just the right amount of difficulty and the team debates are interesting to hear. Not a big fan of the Casino Royale-esque set though, looks pretty bland.  I'll admit it's not the best timeslot to have, but it works out well for me since I couldn't care less about football(or any other major sport for that matter).
