GamesMaster Reboot - Returns 2023 (Pg13)!!

Only watched the first episode so far but really enjoyed it for what it was.

Really cool to have the first contestant be Non-binary too, you don't see a lot of representation on TV

Tonight’s episode is the last one according to Rob’s Twitter….. just 3 episodes is a shitter

Who's Rob?

Coincidently Snoochie Shy is currently on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, which is the only reason I now know who she is.

Robert Florence, the main presenter, looking at the OP again though it looks like it was only announced as 3 episodes, still a shame tho.

Oh, I have never seen him called Rob :lol:

Had to skip through some of the bits that just make me cringe (children and adults having a "feud" will never rise above The Office levels of awkwardness), but I really liked seeing the returning champion bit at the end.

Rab is great, but it always feels like he is having to dial it down to meet the E4 / broader requirements. His little opinion pieces / reviews have been the highlight of the series so far.

This is exactly where I am too. I don't ever remember GamesMaster being quite so cringy, but I guess I'm older now.

Why only 3?

That sucks it’s been quite enjoyable so far. Maybe it’s not getting enough viewers due to the time it’s on .

10pm is a ridiculous time slot for it, there's also been literally no advertisement of it so I get the impression that the Channel 4 execs intend it to be a flop.

Yeah :/ they are not giving it a chance.
Hopefully they do some more episodes but not gonna hold breath.

Episode 3 for anyone not seen it yet.

I've seen plenty of ads for it on TV - I would reasonably guess they expect the show to be more popular on demand than on live TV.

Seeing Trevor McDonald say bollocks made me lol a lot more than it probably should have :lol:

The Under Consoletation podcast has some good episodes about this new series if anyone wants to know some of the behind the scenes machinations.

It's was always planned as 3 episodes.

Perhaps.

It was always meant to be just three episodes and all the marketing (At least early on) seemed to peg it more as an "Online" thing than a standard TV show.

But if you enjoyed it and want to see more I would suggest getting on Twitter and making noise at the official accounts for it.

228,000 viewers for the 24th November episode on E4. 97,000 Live, 132,000 via All4 and DVR within 7 days. Doesn't include those who watched on a mobile or laptop. Was the 16th most viewed programme for the week on E4.

I want a full series of Educating Grado

3 episodes sounds like an extended pilot to gauge reaction.

By far the funniest thing in it.

I think they definitely see it as more of an online thing. I keep getting an 'ad' on Youtube that was the Beat Saber segment from Episode 1, but it was actually longer, with more content that what they had in the actual show.
