The Mint
6 Answers
Watching the Mint, a few minutes ago someone rang in and said, "You are fake, I'm reporting you to Watchdog" The presenter did a good job in trying to cover up the embarassment, of the call.
What do you all think?
I wouldn't call into these shows myself, but seeing that big money is tempting. But I still wouldn't call.

They're very depressing viewing. The only one I'll watch is Quiz Night Live on FTN, and only when Vicky's presenting as I find her really cute, and even then only for a few mins!
Having to work nights. I sometime tune in and watch this show, just to hear the most stupid answers. The best one at the moment is, name a property on a Monopoly Board the answer come back The Houses of Parliment. Now the woman caller sounded like no spring chicken, I fail to beleive she had never played monopoly (who has'nt) so where that answer come from?? Can you imagine the cash they are raking in????
Attrocious crap.
On 19 May 2006, officers from the Fraud Squad raided the offices of BIG Game TV!, makers of The Daily Quiz! after a BBC Radio 4 investigation for the You and Yours programme found that receptionists were told to ignore all incoming calls for long periods of time while 150-200 calls per minute were clocked up at 75p a time.
For this reason, The Daily Quiz! was dropped by ITV Play and is no longer in production.
ITV Play currently sets itself a limit of 150 entries, the maximum permitted, throughout a day. More here:
