Posted December 5, 20204 yr Anyone here been watching this? Been quite enjoying it! I know Michael is quite divisive among some but I'll watch anything with him in :lol: There were two chart questions tonight as well!
December 5, 20204 yr I watched it tonight too! What a flop Melvin was on the subject of music! I was screaming the correct answers! :lol:
December 6, 20204 yr Just watched the first two episodes on YouTube, it’s a great show. I hope there’s an Australian version in 2021.
December 6, 20204 yr This isn't as iconic as Danny Dyer's The Wall, but still an essential Saturday night/Sunday morning watch for me already Loved the diverse range of questions last night from music to....sewing :heehee: I watched it tonight too! What a flop Melvin was on the subject of music! I was screaming the correct answers! :lol: I might've struggled on the Billy/Billie question but him thinking that The Weeknd had the most weeks at #1 in 2019 when he didn't have a #1 until this year was a frustrating moment :lol: :banghead: Also I know next to nothing about football but growing up near Sheffield, my instinct was to rule United out straight away so take that Emmanuel :coffee:
December 6, 20204 yr I spent the first episode trying to get my head around the quite complex rules and complex. By this week's episode - I've got into the swing of it, and it's great. McIntyre's a good host, the range of celebrities is decent, and fun moments, like when the celebrities constantly get their own "specialist" categories wrong, or when by a stroke of luck the celebrity it lands on happens to have knowledge of another category (like when a question relating to a ballet move which is in French ends up going to the French-Canadian Katherine Ryan). It also has the most addictive theme tune for a gameshow in years - to the point that I do find myself blurting out "The Wheel!" at random times during the week. I have a feeling it'll be a one-season wonder, given that it's a 2020 replacement for McIntyre's usual Saturday show that can be done using social distancing.
December 12, 20204 yr I really want to hate it, but I'm enjoying it! Honestly was in stitches at the messy, chaotic ending today. McIntyre really makes the show - it would be quite flat without him.

Michael's said it was actually in development & planned before covid!
December 13, 20204 yr It will 100% get recommissioned! A good test will be how well it holds up in January without a Strictly lead-in. The fact it's retained pretty much its entire launch audience for the following two episodes is a good sign. It's also got the benefit of effectively a 'second launch' in the middle of the Christmas Day schedule!
January 1, 20214 yr I kinda feel like it’s fixed where it lands 🤣 I watched it on Christmas Day with my family and I liked it so I’ve started watching it on iPlayer.
January 2, 20214 yr This is really entertaining - it is an enjoyable watch in a similar vein to 'The Masked Singer' which is also a silly concept but fun!
January 11, 20214 yr I found the latest episode of The Wheel to be one of the funniest, I think partly because of the jokes being aimed at Joel Dommet’s expense. :lol:
January 18, 20214 yr Author https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_McIntyre%27s_The_Wheel Someone has put great effort into the 'Celebrities' section :lol:
January 18, 20214 yr I watched this on Saturday just to catch a glimpse of Sophie Ellis-Bextor who was a contestant. It's entertaining but I don't think I'll be watching it again, I find Michael McIntyre so supremely irritating.

January 23, 20214 yr Author Recomissioned for a second series of 16 episodes! That's quite a lot for one run, so I'd imagine it will be split in 2. I wonder if that means they're not expecting Big Show to return this year?
