For those that have not seen "Mock the Week", please type it into YouTube. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

(Credit also goes to Sean for pitching the "Mock the Week" idea. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )

With Dave losing his interest in continuing the "Pub Quiz" element of FMD, I decided to step in and rebrand the old dog with a new objective of not getting questions right but also giving out funny questions. The show will take place most likely on MSN following the general format of the Mock the Week on TV with three rounds, the first two will vary from show to show the final round will always be the "Scenes We'd like to see" round. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

As I said, we would like to keep this like the TV format so they will be a quizmaster, 2 teams with 2 regulars and each side and an extra 1 space on each team for a guest. The roles will be taken by these members of staff:

Quizmaster: Phill (Not really the most Irish of presenters, but being Welsh is close enough. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) )

Team 1: Dave & Conway

Team 2: Sean & Rootsey

Whoever is the captain for the team will be decided between the two of them and no you can't share the captaincy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) Also, feel free to name your teams to make it more personalised. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Of course if any of these members can't make it for a show then a replacement will be picked, they will either be a staff member or an elite member as they're more well known across the forum. Members, however, will be able to get a chance to join in the fun in the form of a guest. The shows will most likely take place during the week, excluding Wednesday night as I work on a Wednesday night, and the time has yet to be decided. Depending on interest, we may expand the teams to four a side with 2 guests. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Those interested please fill in a form below. Thanks.

If you four as well don't mind filling this in as well (expect the bottom bit unless you have a team name suggestion (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ) so I get an idea of when the "usual" 'recording' time will be.

Questions are always welcome. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/Check_it.gif)

Of "Dara" or the camera? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

To the right of the microphone when they do "Scenes We'd Like to See".

The funnier side.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

aka Frankie Boyle and Hugh Dennis? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

Although Russell Howard is clearly only on the other team because he's stupidly funny and him + Frankie + Hugh would rape as a team.

Right, I think we'll see which team is funnier for the first show, then! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I think this line up looks alright so far: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Episode 1 ("The Pilot")
Teams:

1. Conway, Dave & Mike
2. Sean ©, Roots & marshall

Rounds:
1. If this is the answer, what is the question (football, other sports, technology, music, TV & technology being the categories)
2. News Wheel
3. Scenes we'd like to see.

Episode 2
Teams:

1. C, D & King Ruben!
2. S ©, R & TBA. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I'm hoping to do at least 3 episodes for a decent début season, although interest may vary and (I hope) there could be more than just my pessimistic 3. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Anyway, does that first show line up suit everyone? Obviously Conway is in college so we'll have to see about him although it does look like a 9pm start is agreeable between everyone, except marsh. That said, it may look like I could get in before 9 on a Wednesday night so that day could be open. Although the first episode will have to be different, ie before 8 for marsh but probably after 5-6 for Conway so we'll have a two hour window to 'record' the episode. But I'm sure we can do the three rounds of the show in well under an hour to say the least. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Of course, that second episode slot is still open and I also need to start deciding rounds for that episode as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Suits me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Looks good Phill (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Probably does, Dave. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Just remember to get the funny part of your brain into gear. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

It's the only bit that's working full-time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Is there still room for me at all ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Would love to be in this.
