  • Jonathan Gould: his name is Johnny, he has never been called Jonathan on the show, nor on the Web site. And as I am currently writing his article, please do not wikify his name, as there is no article for Jonathan Gould, but there is for Johnny Gould. Gary Kirk 17:36, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
Nonsense. His name has variously been given as Jonny (not Johnny) or Jonathan in programme credits, and he certainly has been called by both names within the show. And according to IMDb, Johnny Gould and Jonny Gould are two different people. Indeed, I've discovered six people we need to sort out the difference between:
OK, so two of them might be not exactly notable. But the BrainTeaser presenter is known variously as Jonathan or Jonny. I can't remember whether it was only on Memory Bank that he was credited as Jonny and it's been Jonathan since he's been doing BrainTeaser, or if the credit changed at some other point. But I've been watching BrainTeaser regularly for long enough to have heard both names. And if you know of anywhere where he's called Johnny, please share it with the rest of us. -- Smjg 11:42, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
Memory Bank! That was good. They shouldn't have dropped that :-( --Gary Kirk (talk) 13:11, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Changes this year

The programme's now 12:30 to 13:45. But why have they decided it takes 15 minutes longer now? The content is exactly the same, except that they've gone back to 10-word Crossfire rounds (which is obviously nothing to do with it).

But as yet, only Alex has been presenting it this year so far. Is Jonny going to return? Until we know, it's hard to update this page tidily, since the new timing is as of 2006 but the two presenters are as of 2005. -- Smjg 10:12, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

It turned out that that 75-minute slot was just for one week. Now it's just an hour once again. And Jonny has disappeared from that bit of the five website, so I guess we can safely assume there is only one host now. And they've gone back to having just eight in Crossfire.... -- Smjg 14:25, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Today they moved to a new format with all four contestants facing each other at once, being eliminated one-by-one until there is only a single player left for the pyramid. I (we) will have to watch it a few times to see if they keep the same format or in fact they vary the rounds within the game. Mglovesfun 23:00, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suspension

Is there any information lurking out there on why they decided to stop the whole show, rather than merely the phone-in aspect of it?

Moreover, does anyone have any idea what they're doing about the people who were booked to participate in the show? Are they pre-recording some to show at some later date, or what? -- Smjg 02:05, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
