The best quiz show on telly has become a lot better in recent weeks, with the addition of connecting walls to the Only Connect website so everyone can play at home.
For the uninitiated, the wall is a round towards the end of the game show where sixteen words have to be arranged into four grids [...]

I have a new favourite programme, and it hasn’t even aired yet, but given it involves David Mitchell, Victoria Coren and a guessing game about the news, The Bubble can’t fail as far as I’m concerned.
The premise of the show is that three famous guests are put into a ‘bubble’ of seclusion for a week [...]

Well last night was a treat, lowculture’s favourite quiz show, Only Connect returned on BBC4 and brought with it more witty ways to make us feel stupid and clever at the same time. Which is always lovely, it’s something akin to the same way that fat kids felt when thinking that they were watching Anna [...]

LOWCULTURE TELEVISION REVIEW OF THE YEAR
Well this year was, erm, fun? Television wise anyway. We started of with Professor Magwitch doing a turn as an annoying woman banging on about her lost child after billions of people died in Survivors. The show also starred him out of Hotel Babylon, Martha Jones and her who was [...]

Depending on the guest host it has either left you wishing for the return of Simon Amstell, or, in some drastic cases, the return of Mark Lamarr. Which is No Good Thing and would possibly [...]

The series finale of our favourite quiz show, Only Connect is here, and we have the Cambridge Quiz Society (featuring the forum heartthrob du jour, Simon Spiro) against the [...]

When it comes to celebrity siblings, it’s customary to have a favourite. Noel or Liam, Grant or Phil, Dannii or Kylie – most people will know which side they’re on. However, with Giles and Victoria Coren, it’s not easy to choose which one’s the best. Giles could probably bag you a free [...]

It’s good to be back with you after technology decided to hate us for a couple of weeks, but it’s fitting to return by previewing the best new show at the moment, Radio 4’s Heresy.
The idea is very simple: each week Dame Victoria Coren and a panel debate the merits of commonly received [...]

COREN! Only Connect, BBC Four, 8.30pm
Tonight sees the final of our current favourite quiz, Only Connect. The Crossworders take on the Lapsed Psychologists for the champions’ title. It will be a hard slog to get there. Last week’s semi-final was notable for neither of the teams getting many points at all, and [...]

I see a little silhouetto of a muppet.
Oh dear, what are you on about now? Join the discussion here.
I saw them perform it "live" on GMTV this morning and I nearly spluttered out my tea.
