Ross Kemp on toast

[jonathan_crawley · 6/10 · 23 March 2023]

This is a serviceable quiz show with all of your usual tropes. A series of multiple choice questions for a team of brain-dead contestants (in this case strung against the tenuous concept of a 'bridge') and a well known host. It kills half an hour well enough to distract me from screaming into the endless void.

Ross Kemp however, a man associated with hard-hitting investigative journalism, has surely reached the bottom of his own personal TV barrel. How they ended up getting this guy to present is beyond me; perhaps he's in financial trouble or something and needs the easy cash. In any case, it must represent the biggest fall from grace since Marie Antoinette.

Some good qualities but frustrating to watch

[gordongm · 3/10 · 8 March 2023]

I have a caveat that I've only seen parts of a few episodes, and not a whole episode start to finish. Anyway this is my opinion based on limited information.

The format here is simple: find the most ignorant contestants possible and put them on a simple quiz hosted by Ross Kemp. Ross Kemp is a good host, the questions are unbelievably easy, and anyone who watches quiz shows or takes part in quizzes would complete an episode in half the time, and would most likely walk away with the money.

I would recommend any dishonest person who can fake a fun personality to apply for this show. Just lie to the producers of Bridge of Lies and pretend to be unable to answer many questions, also dither a lot before answering. I am quite sure these are the qualities the producers are looking for.

Best quiz show on telly

[christopherltapley · 10/10 · 10 February 2023]

This is the most under rated show on TV. It's edgy, fun and the rules are simple to understand. Ross Kemp is a brilliant and unexpected presenter, lending his hard man image to create real tension and suspense in every game. The questions are completely random so there's no chance of the teams waiting in the waiting room to know what they'll be asked. It's just genius. I don't really watch much telly and caught one episode from season two by accident while I was waiting for my tea to cook. Now I'm currently binge watching the whole of series one, episode after episode. This show should up the prize money and be on prime time. It's great and I love it.

Where do they get these contestants

[lynn-simpson · 3/10 · 15 February 2023]

OMG I'm at a friends and have just watched another episode of Bridge of Lies and csnt believe what I've just watched. I really dont know why this group thought they were good enough to enter a quiz show because their knowledge of everything was dire. They got the simplest of questions wrong.

I never watch this usually but my friend seems to like it, maybe I've just been unlucky in the two shows I've watch have been utterly laughable.

I would never show my face again if I was the contestants on today's show.

I think Ross is ok as the quiz master I admire him for not bursting out laughing at some of the answers they think are correct.
