It is, they'll have a new host soon as Andrew O'Keefe is facing domestic violence charges. Larry Emdur will be the new host, who has been hosting various game shows and morning shows here for years.
I do prefer the chasers on the Aussie version but I don't think anyone liked AOK, no idea why he kept getting hosting roles. If I'm home I'll watch the UK version, but it's on at 3PM, so I rarely see it.

UK version far better largely due to Bradley Walsh‘s presenting abilities in comparison to Andrew O’Keefe. Various bloopers and on screen gaffes from Bradley are a must see on You Tube.
Pointless is my favourite quiz show but unfortunately it seems they have stopped airing on the ABC and best not to speak of the failed Australian attempt.

Yeap. Sometimes I think they put funny answers in the multiple choice questions just to see if they can get Bradley to crack, and it works.
Pointless is a great show but it's a bit like the Supercoach V Fantasy scoring debate in terms of simplicity. To be good at Pointless you need to know multiple answers to a question and not just one. I suspect the UK has a stronger 'quizzing' culture than Australia. I couldn't see an Oz version of Eggheads either, but the UK just seems full of pub quiz teams that can go on shows like that and be competitive.

We get quite a lot of quiz shows in the UK.
Some last and some don't.
My other favourites are Tenable and Impossible.
Beat the Chasers is a good spin off show to The Chase too.
One big no no for me is Alan Carr re-vamping old 1980's gameshows {totally ruins it
by trying to crack corny jokes throughout}

A great little video. Was listening to Alex on the Taskmaster podcast and he mentioned that if that video was received well they will try to make a few more in future, around the narrative of Greg and Alex's relationship.
Alan Davies and Victoria Coren Mitchell will be the two most known from that list. But cant wait for September to see how good the lesser known comedians are. The show is a very good platform for the younger comedians to shine.

In for a treat with Victoria on the panel and the battles with Greg will be must see television. Hopefully her husband isn’t too far away from making an appearance. Predicting that Shepparton’s own, Morgana Robinson will be a very popular member of Season 12.
Finished watching Season 8, 9 and 10 recently. Great performances by the panel show regulars in David Baddiel, Johnny Vegas and Jo Brand, especially Jo Brand’s serenade from the episode Bready, Bready, Bready which unfortunately is proving difficult to find online. Enjoyed both Rose and Mawaan from their respective seasons of the younger talent I had not seen before. As for Season 8, it is unfortunate that the competitiveness of both Iain and Lou soured an otherwise solid cast.
Hopefully I get my wish of either Paul Foot or Henning Wehn appearing in Season 13.
