I know its Easter but....

For what it's worth, the last ten minutes of that episode are on YouTube (actually, the last ten minutes of a lot of British DoNDs seem to be on YouTube), and that part at least seemed like a perfectly normal show.

Personally, I think the funniest thing in that link is that somebody actually managed to misspell "bunny." TWICE.

Considering that the Flickr page in question is that of the OP (TravisP), you might want to address him directly.

Curt (never one to criticize a Brit's spelling...they do all kinds of funny things over there.)

You see the joke is he's an ex-contestant called Bunney who won £110,000, who was famed for singing slightly rubbish songs before opening his box for players and being a bit camp.

It's Easter, so he's the Easter Bunney. Do you see?

It's not a misspellling. The guy in the bunny suit is Jonathan Bunney, a former contestant.

I can't believe people didn't get the joke! and many people watches it via UK Nova.

Yeah, but even those of us who download it don't see every episode. And it sounds like you would have to have seen this idjit to get the joke.

I thought many people from across the pond would recongise him as he was even featured on Buzzerblog a few weeks ago.

At least today's episode was amusing, decided to keep the power cut edit in the show.

Buzzer what now? ;-)

...which a lot of us also do not read regularly.

Dude, I'm sorry if you're offended (and you probably should be), but I'm not going to apologize for calling out what looked to me like a very bizarre mistake. I don't read BuzzerBlog; I don't watch British DoND on a regular basis (I should -- 'cause I love it -- but I don't); all I knew going in was that somebody had written "bunny" with an extra letter.

Did anyone ask you to apologize? You didn't know, and that is understandable. Now you know.

Last year, I was at a Mariners game with my grandmother, and she said, "So, have you seen that new game show?". She asked me what I thought, and I said in so many words that I thought that our version was crap, and I actually sought out other versions.

Just to beat the horse a little bit more dead, rather than saying "Yeah, and it's OK and all," I actually said that I would rather watch a foreign version of the show that is done properly, then went on to explain how I went about that, and just what was wrong with our version.

British TV may be dry enough to package it as a meat snack, but I'd rather have Noel's Red Box Beef Jerky than bloated over-wrought non-entertainment.

Ooh! Our version's not dry, it's just rather arch! Our producers wanted it to feel more like a psychological thriller than gameshow when it first started.

Sorry, bud. I've seen martinis that weren't within 100 miles of a bottle of vermouth that weren't as dry. :)

As long as it is executed, as what Noel frequently says, "with honesty" and the contestant doesn't have to touch a an electric eel, I'm happy to have been watching the last 10 minutes of the UK show during my lunch break.

Mmm. You do tend to miss a lot of the running jokes and entertaining banter if you limit yourself to the last ten minutes though. I know a lot of people watch the show for the number aspect and get hugely upset when something out-of-the-ordinary or a bit mean happens, but I'm not sure I "get" that. If I'm going to sit and watch something for forty-five minutes, I want something that's going to generally entertain.

Some of us would like to see the whole episode, except that some of us don't live in the UK and have memberships to UK Nova. Sometimes, it is hard to figure out the contestant's personality and reason for coming to the show from just those last ten minutes. However, I like your version because it flows more naturally than our version (I just loved it when the producers kept in the part of the lights going out in Kerry's show). Also, the producers make sure almost nothing gets in the way of the money, friendship, and psychological atmosphere of the game. Besides, 10 minutes of the UK version is better than two hours of the U.S. version

Yes of course, it's easy to forget that it's quite difficult to get a UK Nova membership sometimes.
