FMQS game show

-

I thought I would tune in to the reality game show at Holyrood called First Minister’s Questions. I hoped the format would have changed but it was business as usual.

The idea is for the team in charge to have a spokespers­on. The other teams field questions and points are scored every time they manage to use key words. These are Westminste­r, Tories, austerity and Brexit.

These are greeted by loud clapping and cheering from team members. Unfortunat­ely the compere sits silently and has no control. They probably couldn’t get Bradley Walsh.

I will now avoid this. As game shows go it is dire and the only people enjoying are the contestant­s.
