Once again, Reeves & Mortimer are given a chance to demonstrate their anarchic nonsense, this time in the guise of a 'gameshow'.
It's more of the same, with ludicrous questions, equally ludicrous answers, and short, sketch-like asides in between. Regular team captain is Ulrika Johnnson, who's feelings are seldom spared, being largely the butt of most jokes. Captains of the other team have come and gone. Mark Lammar featured for a while and later Will Self. Matt Lucas played drums and kept scores as Georgie Dawes, dressed as a baby. That was the only part of the show that I found rather over-contrived.
An enjoyable blast during the 1990's; the good news is: it's back! And despite almost a decade's absence, it still stands-up very well against any other third millennium comedy. Which may be saying something about the latter.
