What the UK version desperately needs is for a contestant to go on a tear and rack up some serious money to generate interest. That, and/or a host that is just a quarter as good as Trebek was in the US.

Finally, they really need to tighten up enforcing the rules. If you don’t answer in the form of a question, you’re wrong.
He does host Who Wants to be a Millionaire and I have seen episodes, but I've seen clips.

Because they added a lifeline where you can 'Ask the Host' and Clarkson is an idiot. When contestants ask him for help all hope is well and truly lost and it is hilarious!

I think Fry is doing all he can. He has to be lenient on the rules until it really catches on.

In the US Jeopardy isn't a game. Its really serious. People in North America take Jeopardy really seriously.

Replacing Trebek wasnt like...'replacing a shwow host' it was more like 'replacing the Pope.'

Until the UK gets to that level you gotta dispense some rope. I'm going to watch a couple more this afternoon but as for Fry? He's eons better than Bialik and its his first day.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
