Is there away to be able to find out how many After Hours posts that a poster has made?

Well all you can do is find more posts by said user, and if you were really interested count the ones in AHs.

But you will only find the last 500 posts they posted across boards, in all.:pac:

Ah no, tis okay so.

Sat through it one night.
The question was something like:
"Something you find in the kitchen beginning with C"
They took a fair few calls.
Every 40 mins or so, they gave a bit of a 'clue' which was ambiguous to say the least.
30 mins from the end, they said it would be found in the fridge.
10 mins from the end, they said it was a type of nut.
After 4 calls from people whereby the gave the names of some common nuts beginning with C, some guy gave the correct answer.
I, nor anyone else I know, had never heard of it before.

It is the 3 card trick of tv programming.

Play TV plays you.

Never watched it, often saw it starting when turning off the
goggle box.
I heard a chat show on one day on the radio.... No it wasn't
bucking Joe Duffy,
It went on to say that they showed 12 sets of eyes and they wanted to know, which ones were Brad Pit's,
After 11 phone calls the women was told no, at this stage the prize was about €600 and I suppose she had spent about €20 on calls.
She went for the final call and was told no again... the answer to the question was there were three sets of the photo's his, Brad's I mean

Well if your sad enough to sit up and look at that crap, life must be very dull, It's not for me...... :cool:

Maybe it is.

It's funny too when the presenters get really impatient and pissed off with the callers.

Chuck Norris can actually make a profit from calling Play TV.

glad to see what George Hook thinks of it on his twitter, from what he said about it on his show the other day (before he looked) I got the impression he did not find the complaints as being serious.

I remember one night the question was "something white" and the clue was you will find it in the kitchen. It was Citric Acid (or some other acidic mineral from fruit).

Best one was the time the UK authorities pulled up their version on ITV.... Question: Something you can find in a handbag. Solutuion: Spark Plugs.

And yea, I have called......:(

Edit to add - I heard on the radio that all these shows for many european coutnries are shot in a big warehouse out in the East European direction and the presenters are flown over - is this correct?

I remember hearing about that one. I think Balaclava was another of the solutions

I wonder do they keep the presenters in cages. Perhaps Stephen Segal could burst that eastern european human play tv trafficing scam wide open with a tin of whoop ass and one liners then film it and give it an abstract name just like in Out of Reach

And a cheesy tagline

"They thought he had no chance of winning.... They were wrong"
