I like it. Don't understand it, but like it.

Like any British game show, it's rules are completely alien to any other English speaking culture.

I SAY guvnah, I may have no clue what they are talking about but I did catch myself laughing on the by and by

I didn't get it either, until the very end.

"Yes! That is a number!"

Classic!

Some years ago the number game 'sudoku' swept Britain as a craze and is currently printed in newspapers like crosswords are. The joke is the idea of a game show similar to sudoku but less comprehensible.

That's a number!

Glad to help.

It's just a gentle satire of home-grown British gameshows and the national reverence for nerdy ephemera like Countdown.

There are more confusing things on TV. Like why Noel Edmonds keep getting work.

I'm learning to play either Numberwang or Mornington Crescent one day.

So there's like... two dozen British comedic actors. I swear, I haven't seen that much British television, and I still recognize most of these people.

Five for Bertrand Russell.

IT IS NUMBERWANG

That is a distressingly accurate representation of logical atomism, yeah.

It's a 4 way tie between eel-leven, "that is a number!", bertrand russell, and the pre-computer version.

Never mind. It's "Sir Kim Basimger."
