full cast & crew

words, wonderful, words... david mitchell hosts this channel 4 panel show.

two teams, captained by micky flanagan and richard ayoade, are pitted against each other in a battle
of wordplay; answering questions based on sources including quotations, tweets and autobiographies,
as well as some of the teams' very own one-liners to test their verbiage mettle.

featured quotes are read out by a guest narrator every week, with charles dance, phil daniels and
mariella frostrup amongst those taking this role.

was it something i said? incorporates the first use of twitter as a dedicated playalong companion
for a tv show. viewers are directed to the show's twitter account (@somethingisaid) by david
mitchell and encouraged to answer questions at the same time as they are put to the tv panellists.
the more answers that a viewer gives, the more extra bonus content they unlock - including behind
the scenes clips and deleted scenes, as well as funny pictures, animated gifs and bonus facts and
jokes from the show's panellists.

the show's rounds are:

threesomes: the panellists must match a series of quotes to one of three famous people.

complete the quotation: played over the advert break, the teams and audience at home must complete a
famous quotation.

keywords: the panellists are given a few keywords and must work out the famous quotation.

what are they talking about?: the teams hear a quote taken out of context and must then work out
what it is really about.

was it something i said?: quotes are read out. are they from one of the panellists, or the show's
"virtual guest" (e.g. piers morgan).

thank you, plux2010, for the show information.

(admittedly i didn't actually get my copy of this from here, but off usenet, though they appear to
be identical file sizes and titles, but...)

the audio level is a bit up & down throughout. which is a little annoying. sometimes it's very quiet
and difficult to hear the jokes.

my apologies if this isn't the case for this copy.

i noticed a problem with the audio going up and down in this as well.

can't say i had any problems with the audio.

the show itself is ok. it's very david mitchell, combining some good humour with historic quotations. and
richard ayoade as a team captain is quite a treat. however, i doesn't come close to other humorous panel
shows like nevermind the buzzcocks, mock the week, shooting stars, etc. or a somewhat similar show like
qi. a show about quotations just hasn't got much meat on it's bones, and it just feels too mild-mannered to
me.

i notified the torrent team that never mind the buzzcocks is a show that we've done in the past and it
recentlyl started a new season. i also notified the torrent team that we've done mock the week in the
past but we missed the most recent season which completed airing recently (except for a christmas
special later this year). i do not know if skipping them was intentional or an unfortunate oversight.
we shall have to wait and see.

yep audio was all over the place for me
