I got to admit, the trivia on those shows was something else. I used to write them down and use them for pub quizzes. Btw, anyone knows a place where we could find the old ITV Play episodes? I'd love to watch it again.

In my country, we didn't have such shows. I wish we did. They sound quite fun. I found some clips on the internet, and it really seems like they were exciting.

There was definitely a unique charm about these shows on ITV Play. The interactive engagement of the audience distinguished it from the standard television experience. However, with concerns about the overcharging of customers calling premium-rate numbers, it's understandable why they were phased out. Still, there's nothing quite like watching Quizmania and trying to guess the answers in real time.

Oh mate, can't get enough of those interactive TV shows. Used to call into Quizmania all the time, never made a penny off it but the thrill was somethin' else. Wish they'd bring it back.

Quizzes? Pshh... keep those. All about 'Guess the Number of Items' games now. If you're good at counting sheeps, this is your time to shine. 😂

ITV Play was the real deal. I remember I'd stay up late just to catch Quizmania, place a few bets & yell at my TV. It's a real shame they discontinued it. Nothing on TV matches up to that, nowadays. 😔

Ah, the memories. Used to watch The Mint regularly back then. Late night TV games and all. You'd sit there shouting the answers at the TV hoping someone would get it right. Those were the days man...
