Why are they telling people  to phone in when there is a problem with the lines.  I tryed to phone in tonight (13 May) but was told  phone lines are closed.   It's a con. Does anyone know if there is an email I can  get to contact them?

Gosh, I watched this yesterday for the first time- it HAS to be a con. I didn't believe that nobody was phoning up-- for at least 10 minutes, and then suddenly someone got through. In that 10 minutes, loads of people would have phoned up- paying their 60p per call, and when they feel they have made enough profit, they allow one caller on the line- with a WRONG answer, and then go to another with a wrong answer etc etc, all the while saying how the question is so simple- it's on the screen!!

It must cost quite a lot to film and broadcast the programme, so they have to make money back- and that's how they do it- through your phone calls. I am certain it's a rip off.

They kept say phone phone phone.  Well I did and was told lines are now closed,  Yet they managed to take a call right at the close of the quiz??

\All the programmes have cottoned on to this, competitions for everything. I wonder how many people phone in on the popular daytime shows (which take texts, too!).  What are the odds of winning these things?
