UTV's Interactive Quiz Show 'Brain Box' Taken Off Air Due to Technical Fault

[MrDannydoodah]

Snaking must be allowed, since the already revealed answers are all snaking and presumably she indicated where they were when the callers gave those answers. In fact only OKRA is straight and even then that's backwards.

The real reason the show was taken off the air was because someone at UTV had noticed that there was only 3 right answers on the board. The ones that Carmel uncovers aren't on the board at all....have a look again and pause after every one she uncovers....

@TheEllawayShow I found all of them apart from "Okra", but I'm sure that's there somewhere too.

[TheEllawayShow]

@jsynnott bearing in mind they must be horizontal vertical or diagonal, not snaking around...OKRA btw is above the middle N (the N of Peanut). Contrary to my last post, they *actually* took it off the air because there were NO right answers in the horizontal vertical or diagonal position....someone fucked up while making the board

@TheEllawayShow Ah ha! Didn't realise snaking wasn't allowed! Fair play good sir.

Nice Wikipedia copying.

Quiz Call had been caught out cutting corners, in using its own staff to pose as prize winners, clutching 3-foot cheques in an on-air promotion, though there was no suggestion that any employees had been playing or winning the games.[4] The BBC Radio 4 programme You and Yours broadcast a segment on Quiz Call on 10 October 2006, who were contacted by listeners who had been barred by the channel. One listener, Mari Hamilton from Aylesbury who used the on-air name 'Luna', contacted the programme

At the culture, media and sport committee, held on 28 November 2006, representatives from Quiz Call admitted that one instance of people being put on hold did occur and that the producer responsible no longer works for Ostrich Media.[3] Quiz Call, which once offered a £100,000 jackpot, admitted that the shows producer was responsible for deciding how long callers had to wait to enter the games.

THIS GAME WAS RAN BY Ostrich Media SAME OUTFIT AS BRAINBOX AND USES SAME TRICKS!!

On 24 September 2006, Quiz Call admitted to The Sunday Times that they had manipulated games by blocking callers from taking part for periods of up to 40 minutes. Under headlines of naked profiteering, Quiz Call said that on these occasions, it charged thousands of callers a standard 75p premium line fee — knowing that it would give them no chance to answer the prize question.

[MysterCD]

Its a total rip off as they have lots of correct answers on board to lure poor unsuspecting callers whom even if give a correct word will not get prize cos its only the words they have selected!!? This they dont make clear of course as no one would play it if so!!? You are also only selected to answer as well from hundreds of calls!!? Shooting ducks in a barrel comes to mind!!?

[malismad]
