END

Bit confusing. The game show needs a name of some sort (and chance for a joke) to hammer home that's what's happening.

I'm not sure they'd do two Brucie jokes in two weeks, especially as they did a version of the 'nice to see you' the previous week.

That said, it is quite funny and I did laugh. The bit at the end with Len is a stretch though. Too much.

The week before the bruce sketch went done well on newsjack so I thought I'd give it a chance, I got into habit of playing the odds with nesjack and doesn't work for me. I remeber I shoehorned a runner into a sketch that should have been stand alone because they had runners on first 2 shows.
