Late Night Quiz Shows

These shows are a pet hate. In fact, that’s an understatement. Everything from the hoping-for-a-big-break, overly enthusiastic presenters, to the underlying fact it’s a complete and utter con, aimed at the fact anybody watching at these times are either inebriated, an insomniac or one of a security staff personnel, bin or milk man, who don’t possess enough brain power to realise this (apologies for that incredibly judgemental comment, but I’m sterotypicalising for effect). 

                The questions asked are a complete fix, consisting of mainly simple crosswords or fill in the missing gap ‘____work’, such questions with literally thousands of possible outcomes, any of which could be true.  These programmes take a call on show perhaps every 3 minutes, leaving hopeless viewers at home, stuck on hold for easily 20 minutes, while they leech the callers money with extremely high rate phone calls, only for them to be told their answer is incorrect. Granted, a correct answer pops up every now and then, somewhat conveniently, no doubt when an analogists notes a dip in their programmes souring nightly profits and responds with a correct answer to maintain interest and optimism to these deluded peasant watching.
