Richard Osman's House of Games

The simplicity of just getting playing a quiz show for celebrities just works perfectly. My family absolutely loves quiz shows and the fact that there is an abundance of questions on an entertaining programs is under appreciated.

Less here is more: One presenter, smaller set, fewer but celebrity, indeed top-flight, fun and interesting contestants.

The broad-brush bland-urbanity of charmer Alexander Armstrong somehow always made Richard Osmands interjections awkward - he never engaged with them, merely paused then passed on. It made RO's presence seem rather inexplicable if not actually pointless. Some might even suspect a Gatling-Fenn gambit or two. I recognise one at least.

Here though surprisingly RO blossoms as the sole presenter, the participants too seem to be very comfortable. The format is simpler but more engaging, faster moving and more fun - for participants and viewer.

Always pleased when I tune in the challenges are good and the show itself isn't built upon tension as many other quiz shows are. The guests aren't well known celebrities but their efforts are still valliant.

Love this show, my wife and I compete against each other, however the most frustrating part of the show is if you want to play at home you don't get to seen the question board long enough as it keeps cutting to the celebrities..

Great quiz show that doesn't take itself too serious and one that you can easily play along with, without having to have vast general knowledge.
