BBC Blankety Blank viewers were left saying the same thing about the latest episode hosted by Bradley Walsh
BBC audiences were united in their response as they watched the latest series of Blankety Blank.
Presenter Bradley Walsh returned to television screens on Saturday (April 11) to front the newest instalment of the beloved game show.
Bradley invited six famous faces to the studio to complete the missing blanks and assist in securing fantastic prizes for some fortunate participants.
This week, the host was accompanied by Richard Ayoade, Alex Jones, Stephen Bailey, Nadia Jae, Gyles Brandreth and Roisin Conaty.
Nevertheless, certain viewers were underwhelmed by the episode, with some labelling the questions “ridiculous”, reports the Mirror.
Writing on X, previously known as Twitter, one viewer commented: “Not funny anymore really. Maybe past its selll by date and celebs aren’t good #BlanketyBlank.”

Another contributed: “The blank questions don’t seem to be like they used to be. #blanketyblank.”
A third individual stated: “Most of the questions are so ridiculous with no obvious answer. No wonder they don’t score. #blanketyblank.”
Someone else shared: “#BlanketyBlank questions are a lot more random than there used to be.”
ITV The Chase host Bradley initially began presenting Blankety Blank six years ago, succeeding the late Paul O’Grady.
He has invited numerous major celebrities onto the programme including Joanna Lumley and Alison Hammond, though not all well-known personalities are enthusiastic.
Bradley previously revealed to The Sun: “I tried to persuade Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill from our Doctor Who days to come on.
“They won’t have it because they’re frightened to make themselves look a bit silly but that’s what it’s all about. For me, you’ve got to come on and have some fun. You really do.”
The programme, which originally launched in the 1970s and was presented by the late Terry Wogan, features high-profile celebrities assisting participants in completing the missing words in questions posed by Bradley.
The latest series showcases famous faces including Jonathan Ross and Julian Clary on the celebrity panel.
When questioned about whether they engaged in any “mischief”, Bradley responded: “Well, loads! Jonathan Ross especially, he’s really the only person who’s a non-comedian but he’s got a wealth of experience.
“He’s so funny and Julian’s obviously steeped in this sort of stuff. So his dry remarks, his dry wit is perfect for the show, it really is.”
Blankety Blank continues Saturday, April 18 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer
