I finally caught an episode of this recently, it struck me that really the two teams didn't need to be there at all, the "civilians" must have said about 20 words between them throughout the whole show and could easily have been replaced with cardboard cutouts to be the subject of Alan's mockings.
The celebrities spoke a tiny bit more but again were really just there to be pointed at by Alan.
And the teams were so large and so physically far away from each other that any banter or interaction between the two teams, which surely should have been the main focus of a show like this, was made virtually impossible.
I personally think the whole concept of the show is a despicable idea, but I can understand why some comissioning editors think it would be a great one, but in it's current state it just doesn't pull that off.
