Let's see what's going to drop out of the schedules...The Bank Job!

There's been a plethora of quizzes on telly lately, offering varying degrees of entertainment.

I rather liked seeing Davina McCall swap places with Phil Spencer on the Million Pound Drop Mash-Up, so he asked the questions and she answered them with her dad Andrew.

She had a taste of her own medicine when she was on the receiving end of the excruciatingly long pauses, shouting "Just get on with it!". Now you know how we viewers feel. Building up tension is one thing, but there comes a point when it tests our patience with all this "Let's see what's going to drop.....after the break!".

I find the best way to watch is to record it and then fast forward through most of it - you can watch it in half the time.

It was a shame that Davina and Andrew got the final question wrong, when they had actually played a pretty good game up until then.

Perhaps she would have fared better on Celebrity Mastermind, which has been touting some rather dubious 'celebs' - there's at least one person on every show I have never heard of.

Then again, it must be hard to persuade star names to put their intelligence to the test in the scary black chair. Which is why they have swapped the usual tough general knowledge questions for far easier ones, only slightly more taxing than on The Weakest Link.

It's still a great format, though, and it was nice to see singer Neil Hannon win last night as it clearly meant so much to him, having watched the show all his life.

Mastermind is simple but compelling, unlike new Channel 4 qame show The Bank Job. The rules seem incomprehensible to everyone, including host George Lamb who doesn't appear to have much of a clue what's going on.

"Let's open the box," he said. "No, hang on, let's choose a box." Ooh, the excitement.

I don't think this show will be back. I'm putting it in the Red Or Black category of shows which arrived with a fanfare but will slink off with a whimper, after failing to ignite our interest.
