The first to go to the toilet, cook a meal, and get a job wins. Completely mental.

Just watching the episode with Nish Kumar, and supposed gaming guru Gibson keeps referring to "upwards arcade shooters". Anyone ever heard that term before?

For a series about playing games competitively, not a strawberry floating one of them can play a game with any degree of competency. I haven't bothered following this series, but the Nish Kumar one was unbearable to watch.

Also, why are they so insistent on shoehorning arbitrary competitive rules into single player games? Just play multiplayer games, there are strawberry floating tons of them.

Residential Evil 3 was the absolute worst for that. "Let's see who can navigate a corridor and a menu screen quickest"

British broadcaster Channel 4 has ordered a time-travelling video game format hosted by comedian Rob Beckett. The network has commissioned Playing For Time, from Greenbird-backed production company Rumpus Media, a four-part series that will see Beckett and celebrity guests including Josh Widdicombe, Rachel Riley, Asim Chaudhry and Scarlett Moffat play a number of video games across the years. The show, which will air this spring, was commissioned by Jonny Rothery, Commissioning Editor for Formats at Channel 4 and will be exec produced by Emily Hudd and Iain Wimbush. It will air in partnership with video game retailer GAME. “Gaming is obviously a hugely popular part of our culture and this series takes a unique and engaging look at how gaming has evolved over the last four decades. We are looking forward to teaming up with Game and a time travelling Rob to make Playing for Time a reality,” said Rothery.

I can see why they've invited Scarlett. She's currently flavour of the month with the public, a bit bonkers and generally seems quite pleasant. Doubt she's much of a gamer though, and much like the majority of guests she very likely doesn't game much outside of throwaway apps on her phone and that one time she tried Tomb Raider on a friend's Playstation.

Having “flavour of the month” celebs like that talentless z-lister Moffat actively discourages me from watching the show. It’s not a show for gamers at all.

Im not entirely sure it was ever aimed at "gamers" . More the Lip Sync battle crowd who know a bit about video games, but regard them not much more than a childish past time to be scoffed at.

I'm watching the my first episode ever. Only a couple of minutes in but I don't find Dara O'Brain that funny so far.

Honestly this show is probably the least funny he's ever been. He has absolutely no material to work with.

I think they could have redone the format as well. When they play games that aren't multi player they should have played one at a time. It was hard to tell who was doing what. Also they probably should have dubbed commentary on after in post. Although I guessing that would have cost more and it would have lost something.
