You are the weakest link

Started by: First Mate (2398)

Goodbye,

I was visiting yesterday where the householder had the tv on. Weakest link was showing. A new presenter, don't know who he was. I have to say it wasn't a patch on the version with mistress Ann running the show. Is it ever a good idea to bring back a show after it being axed?

I saw it advertised NJ, I believe Steven Mulhern will host it.

I wish they would bring back Scrapheap Challenge. There were some real challenges set for the teams

The latest version of 'The Weakest Link' is so crap I can't watch it, that guy who presents it, is so not the part

I remember watching the Spanish version of the weakest link in the hotel room whilst on holiday.

It was quite funny because they had their Spanish version of Anne Robinson who looked very similar to our Anne Robinson. But it was all in Spanish, obviously.

Agree with tts, the guy who presents it wasn't right for the part. Now had they used Jeremy Clarkeson......

Ann has said that she turned down the opportunity to return for the rebooted Weakest Link.

“Times have really changed. I wouldn't want to be a cheesy game-show host, and that is what the BBC wanted. Where's the fun if you can't ask, 'What do you do when you're not eating?' or 'Have you had that hair cut for a bet?'”

Was Anne Robinson the first person to host the weakest link?

The first original episode was broadcast on 14 August 2000. The show was presented by Anne Robinson and narrated by Jon Briggs.
So says Wiki

You did remember someone else doing it.

Comedian Ranganathan revived the BBC One quiz previously hosted by Anne Robinson in 2021 with an all-star celebrity version

The same presenter as hosted the other day

First Mate, that's right. I don't mind the newer version, but Anne Robinson was by far the best.

I'm quite enjoying Steven Mulhern presenting deal or no deal
