I can't see that the BBC is doing itself any favours by allowing such intellectually-challenged people to make such fools of themselves on TV.
I know that the Lotto program isn't "Just Connect" or "University Challenge" but surely there must be some kind of selection process ?
Does anyone know how people are chosen for the Lotto thingy ?
About 25 years ago, I tried for inclusion in a ITV quiz show called "Busman's Holiday" All the contestants met at a hotel and we were tested on our general knowledge. This test was quite difficult, and the questions were asked very briskly, leaving only a few seconds in between each one. My Team failed as one of us just couldn't answer quick enough. ( it wasn't me ! )
Is the same procedure used for quiz shows today I wonder ?
