And you were right about Austin, not Houston, being the capital of Texas. I liked the dexterity challenge, if you combine that with Q & A, you've got something there.

BTW--Houston is not the capital of Texas, it is Austin. This just goes to prove, it's not about sets, glitz, trilons vs. plasmas, etc. it's all about the game.

Whoops! I probably turned it down to change something else... I also forgot to add in the buzzer sounds! Doh! There were 3 microphones, 1 for me and 1 for each team. One thing I forgot to mention is this series we give away a £90 prize, which I actually paid for... so £60 budget from the society and I bunged in £90. We've still got about £19 left for any shows we film in the Spring. It was developed just before Only Connect came out, but there are some definite similarities - great minds....! 2 people on a team didn't lend itself to great dynamics, and 4 was too much (and finding the contestants would be hard!). The main aim of the show was to be fun - which I think we achieved tremendously and the set only fell down during filming twice! Shows 5, 6 and 7 will be out in January (we need a breather over Christmas!). Thanks for watching, keep the comments coming! Dan Peake The editing will be my fault on the latest show! Whoops!

Very entertaining, and for a small budget, it's very well done. Heck...for a college show, what else do you need to give away but your balls? (Pun intended) I too see a lacking in the contestants' audio. I only see the one microphone. Is that the only one used? The concept is a very good one.

(Of course, would that the world had more shows like "Only Connect.") And a minor technical beef: The studio audio is somewhat lacking, no doubt due to that nonexistent budget, but it's somewhat annoying when switching to the much louder music segments.
