[QUOTE="Angela Chilling, post: 345211, member: 33"] I agree with your frustrations regarding Michael Parkinson being in the chair. [I]Give Us a Clue [/I]was fluff TV, I don't mean that in a disparaging way, it was just not to be taken seriously as it's just a piece of inconsequential fun. However, because if was fluff TV, it only worked if all the participants take did it seriously by acting out the questions and guessing them as best as they could and if they didn't, the show risked becoming too silly to be watchable. When Parky didn't act even-handedly it used to completely ruin the show for me because I would question why the celebrities were putting in any real effort if the chair wasn't going to moderate the show fairly. I always thought there was a fine line between the show being a bit of trivial fun and a mindless mess and Parky too often steered it to the wrong side of that line, [/QUOTE]
