All in all The Circle was, completely unexpectedly, a brilliant series and one of my favourite shows of the year. Has it already been posted that Netflix are gonna be making their own versions? So the format will be going international, which makes it highly likely that the British version will return.

Oh sweet, didn't know about that. Something to look forward to, and seeing how different nations deal with the game should be very interesting. Also, maybe with Netflix on board the kinks might get worked out early on, so by the time Season 2 of the UK one rolls around it will be like a well oiled machine.

I can see an American version being completely OTT and ruining what made the UK one great, but I'd give it a chance anyway.

S.M.B.

I can see the "American" version being an improvement on the UK version although it all depends on who's producing it. Hopefully someone with a good track record.

Agreed, it could all too easily become staid and predictable. The producers would be trying to jazz it up, put in bigger egos, clashing personalities, the usual old rubbish.

Just watched the final, took a lot for me to not click into this thread and keep it unread on my thread page!!!

Winner is deserved i think and it does send a message to all about stranger danger.
I do wish dan or sian got the peoples vote they did do themselves justice.

I will be glad that i dont have to listen to the likes of "oh he's a sort" "she's a bit of me" anymore!! I did not realise thats how londoners talk now!!!

The wrap up show type thing is on Channel 4 at 10.25 tonight.

Will be interesting to see how they all got on afterwards

Thanks for the reminder. Thumbs up emoji. Send message.

I usually don't bother with these wrap up shows, but will check in here later to see if it's worth checking out or not.

they said on the final it'll have a psychologist on. one thing i noticed was even when some were sure kate wasn't real, they didn't care. scotty even said he liked the person. not sure if they'd have the same reaction if kate wasn't as nice towards them/the group

hopefully it shows the final votes too. this is what the last ep. showed on how they voted
alex - 2, 1, 1. the 2 for dan
dan - 5, ?, ?
freddie - 2, 1, ?
sian - 3, 2, ?

dan says 5 twice in the clips but i'm not sure is that two separate votes. i couldn't see him giving sian lower than 3 though
it's not really right to say he won it for kate. all the votes would've affected it. freddie lost it for sian, kate won it for her/himself, etc.

Scott Tenorman

Felt sorry for Dan watching Kate’s rating. Can’t blame him for being pissed off with that

Ghost Train

something from youtube, looks like they're on better terms now

This was really excellent last year. Loved that the audience could get involved via the app. Can’t wait for the new series.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Can't wait for this - hopefully they've improved on the initial format and not butchered it completely, as I know there's meant to be quite a few changes.

Toto Wolfcastle

They’re started introducing the players on social media and the app. Couple of proper catfishes so far, including one woman pretending to be her son.

Toto Wolfcastle

Richard Madeley is going in as a player and the audience will be deciding who he’ll be playing. Not sure I’m into this, but that might be because I can’t stand him.

Not a fan of Emma Willis or her addition to this but hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised !!

Yeah I'm not sure how I feel about this, there shouldn't be 'celebrity' players. I know the format will need tweaks to keep it interesting but this just smacks of trying to fix something that isn't broken.

I felt the same way. I didnt watch series one but introducing one "celeb" already just seems unnecessary. Wouldnt even mind if it was a celeb version, but having just one celeb is silly imo, too much interferring.

Why Is Robin Williams in this and why is he called Tim? Uncanny similarities.

It seems he will have very little impact.

Toto Wolfcastle

Really enjoyed it tonight. So far it’s not too different from last year! A little more game play from the off, but that’s to be expected.

yerwanthere123

Good launch tonight, pretty much answers the question straight away about whether or not it could work for a second series. Still think Madeley's inclusion isn't necessary, but at least it's only for a week.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

So, I assume everyone is rooting for Tim to win (based on first impressions anyway)...

Yep I am. Love him already

Posy

I am!

And yes, he's the SPIT of Robin Williams!!

2nd Row Donkey

Looking forward to the show starting properly tonight.

Watching episode 1 pretty similar to last year with Emma Willis and more of a budget and audience.
Tim ftw I would think.

Least favourite Georgina..or Emelle.... painful

Loved series 1, hopefully this series isn't full of eejits.
