The 1% Club

This is a show for people who like quiz shows. Unlike The Chase or The Tipping point, it doesn't require you to have a really board general knowledge. The questions on this show need you to use your common sense and logic. There are questions that you can immediately see the answers, but others you have to think out of the square. Sometimes, it's almost a trick question, so you need to make sure you read the questions thoroughly and carefully. It is intense at times as you only get 30 seconds per question. Although, there have been times you will find questions that it's really easy that only a small percentage of the population got right and vice versa.

Lee Mack is the perfect host. His jokes and banners with the contestants in between the questions are entertaining.

ITV's latest game show off the production line, and actually this wasn't half bad.

In Lee Mack you have a host that can actually give the contestants a bit of lip back, and the format isn't needlessly complicated (hi 'Limitless Win').

It's a bit slow, and won't be for everyone, but I enjoyed what I saw and hope it does well.

I greatly enjoyed Season 1 with Patton Oswalt as tge host. Now in season 2 the have a new host Joel McHale. If I wanted to watch Johnny Knoxvilles twin, I would watch Jackass. FOX, I enjoy the show, but Joel needs to go.

You had an epic season and success with the show. With the return starting June 10, 2025. The host has no contestant personality. It was a mix of watching Jane Lynch and Johnny Knoxville. The host's personality was very disappointing and not appealing at all. If this continues through the second season, it will the finally and end of the 1% Club game show. From a concern fan.

This game show is different. You don't need to be a brainiac or have a vast amount of general knowledge. The majority of the questions are based on logic and common sense. There are times you have to take the questions literally, and sometimes the answer is hidden in the question. Some of the harder questions are the ones you have to think outside of the box. Lee Mack is a brilliant host, he does make fun of the the contestants, but it's lighthearted and never mean. 30 seconds to answer the question is a lot of pressure. The advantages of watching it at home is I can pause it and try to think of the answer. 😅

Which two letters complete this sequence?

T N E C R E P E

On a digital 24-clock that displays hours, minutes and seconds, how many times in each 24-hour period do all six digits change simultaneously?

These two questions were not featured on high brow quizzes like 'Only Connect' or 'University Challenge'. Instead they were on a new prime time Saturday evening game show on Britain's biggest commercial TV channel, if you please. Scarcely credible really.

'The 1% Club' is clearly something a bit different. It certainly includes all the elements of a successful game show.

1) Easy to follow format 2) Witty and likeable host 3) Great interaction with contestants 4) Exciting climax to the show.

What separates it out from the crowd are the questions, which stay away from general knowledge. Instead there are logic and reasoning problems, that become more challenging as the show progresses. You can play along at home, and even discuss questions with friends and work colleagues later in the week. 'The 1% Club' deserves to be successful and I just hope it finds an audience.

By the way the answer to the two questions are:- A) N O B) 3 times during the day.

And if you got both of those correct you are clearly in 'The 1% Club' and will surely enjoy this breath of fresh air to Saturday evening TV.
