Lip gloss, car keys, phone, rawl plugs, balaclava - essential items us women folk are never without! :pac:

Never watched Play TV, but did watch a few of the ones on ITV Play. Remember one game on Quizmania (I think, don't quote me!), you had to name items found in a handbag: people guessing all sorts of random things. One of the winning ones eneded up being a plug!! :eek:

Now, I can sometimes have alot of stuff in my bag, but never a plug...

'Make your Play' always had these number games and could never figure them out. BUT, there was one girl, Jo (um, obviously watched this alot to remember her name ) who, when she got through, always won. She must have racked up at least £150,000 in winnings.

Then I reckon it's fair to say she was a plant. Probably got back the price of the phone call and 20 quid for her trouble

You're probably right, at the time I thought she was just super smart. Whatever the answer was I had no idea how it was arrived at!

Sounds like a plant. Have never had a plug in my purse or bag but have had rawl plug and believe it or not I have had a balaclava. Handy to have when out on a astronomy watch

Also handy to have a balaclava if, like redundant PRL presenters, you spent some time fooling ould ones, and didn't want to be recognised..

*Thinks*

mmmhh,could that be the real reason that Spook carries a balaclava everywhere with her?
Strange that no-one has ever seen Carole and Spowoman in the same room....

I remember on PlayTV an Eileen Nolan, Carrigohane, Cork, and a Peter Doyle from Carlow, used to win a good 500euro each, on average per week. Plants.

Play TV used to have a list of winners, telling how much people had won, giving names and their locations, and I started doing a bit of research on the list and the above names kept coming up on.

I was a ringer to Play TV then, thinking I could solve the puzzles, that was in the first month of the show, and lost about 100euro, and got through to the studio just once, and of course there was never any straightforward answer.

When I rang the number I was given a question to answer, eg.where is the river Liffey in Dublin or Cork? (one of about 10 simple questions they had) and I always answered correctly, then was told "you almost got through to the studio, try again" another one was "you almost made it", another "better luck next time", so it was difficult even getting through to the studio in the first place.
That's when I found the forum on Boards, to my delight, and it was like Play TV AA to me.

.BrianJM · 10-12-2012 1:57pm

That so-called general knowledge question was just a front. You could give no answer or the wrong answer and still get the 'you almost made it' message.
We should have complained about that as well.

Reason I have not been seen in same room with Carole is because of a nut allergy. Its gets really bad around her.

TV3 still trotting out the "Nothing to do with us 'guv!" line in their responses, as well as how they "made every effort to ensure the show is compliant"...

One more heading to the committee today.

.BrianJM · 10-12-2012 7:31pm

I sent one in, in which TV3 said that something did not breach any rules but they asked the broadcaster to stop doing it.

Coohull, I think you've stumbled on to something there...

coolhull · 11-12-2012 12:41am

Am I alone, or does anyone else have withdrawal symptoms? I just can't get used to being in bed at midnight.
I keep asking the angels to find me parking spaces, help me find keys, pay my ESB bills, make my open-toed red shoes fit me (even though I'm a man) and make a packet of fishfingers last a fortnight.

So far, no response. I know it's Christmas time, and Carole kept assigning new clients to their care, but still, wouldn't you think at least one angel would find the time to at least pay a few bob off my bills or multiply my fishfingers.
Starting to lose faith here......

wnolan1992 · 11-12-2012 1:17am

I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss having the craic with everyone on the thread during the show.

But I definitely don't miss having to suffer through the quite nights with Danielle and the other twats. :P

The odd shows here and there with the magic candle or theo burning gypsy curses at the crossroads were far outnumbered by simpering Sam and her fake sympathy or catatonic carole and her fishfinger complex. I can't get used to normal tv at this time of the night anymore though...

People ringing in (and PAYING!) to have their name written on a candle - just bizarre TV.

BUT...

I think the Papa Wango one should win some kind of IFTA/BAFTA for the most bizzaro random show ever. The "song" at the end was the icing on the cake!

That's easy for you to say, young flute player. You haven't been let down like I have.
To quote James Reilly, for me it's a 'logistical logarithmic progression' and I need a regular psychical fix to keep going.

(By the way, I didn't purposely write that thing about 'logistical'.. etc. That's my magic all-seeing pen at work. I wouldn't know how to spell big words like that)

Well Carole said that the first names that come into your mind are your angels, so obviously you haven't followed her advice, now if you do, you might just get your parking space.

Don't know if the red shoe business would suit you somehow, I'd be afraid you might get to like the open toe shoes too much. Then you might have the urge to put the red nail polish on your big toes. And then you might start dying your hair red, like Carole did, and spend the whole day trying to get it back to orange. Don't know how you'd fare out there. Although it's a good colour for the Christmas season, and you might get away with it. You might even get a surprise from Santa, nice packet of Findus Fish Fingers, wouldn't that be nice for yeh.

Come on all ye faithful...keep the faith

Woah! :eek: Thems some seriously big words for this time of night, it's a wonder the pen didn't run out of ink! :pac:

Good find! Excellent :pac:

I think, and I'm dead serious, we should campaign to have Papa and Djaly as our entry in the Eurovision for next year!! Wnolan already has the bones of a song, and a certain someone might accompany them, making one of the mods (and a few others!) verrrryyyy happy indeed.

And on that thought I'm off to sleep, night.

Starella was no help to anyone. Tom would have been better off ringing Crimeline

Don't worry, TV3 will come up with a new revenue generating show from our friends in Budapest at some stage.

The best part of our victory is that we got rid of it in time for Christmas.

The thread will/should go on for another 3 to 4 months. I anticipate complaints being decided in January or even February which means March is earliest for 'last' announcements.
