Lingo

What a rubbish show. It's the only show l have seen where you have to win the full amount again. Get to the final & have your winnings cut in half & your the winner's.

Another game show hosted by a comedian in the hope it will generate some humour, and another format from another country being desperately repacked to make it try and work over here.

Neither works well here.

Lingo is an enjoyable idea for an afternoon game show spoiled by Adil Ray's awkward presentation with hands in pockets or arms folded. This is such bad manners. It is so rude and disrespectful as well as distracting. Also his false loud laugh and repetitive phrases become very grating. His loudly proclaimed "Ooh hello" when anyone gets something right quickly is also very irritating. He makes a huge fuss about the money even if it is a paltry amount. He has relaxed a bit but still just doesn't know what to with his hands and shifts around from foot to foot. But the worst thing are the hands, especially in his pockets or with arms folded.

I could imagine Stephen mulhern hosting this and the show being amazing, but we have Adil Ray who unfortunately wasn't able to show his comedic abilities in this and was a bit boring. Hate to admit it. Although considering schools were shut whilst this aired this was a useful tool as an English lesson for teaching children new vocabulary while being fun too, for them at least. I know enough but I don't express it here haha.

Overall, a really good show but it could've been better. AND ALSO ITS SO ANNOYING WHEN THE WORD POPS UP AND YOU DONT GET IT BECAUSE ITS ALWAYS EXTREMELY OBVIOUS. Happened to me tonnes and I needed to express my anger about that haha.

More suited to kids tv. Awful stilted host. Hands in pockets!! Big yawn.
