I was trying to find the other thread about this and I couldn’t so I just thought to make a general one for more news and stuff to go into.
As announced previously, experienced host and former video game journalist Robert Florence will be taking on hosting duties and today, they announced who will be taking on the GamesMaster role from the late great Sir Patrick Moore and it’s another Sir…
If you were like me and watched News at 10 when he was at the helm…frankly, I couldn’t have picked anyone better. His voice is pretty damn perfect for it.
Whether the show will be good is another question but the pieces are coming together so far.

So is this going to be a show where people compete at playing video games? That sounds cool.

That is a left-field pick but perfect choice for the role of Gamesmaster.

video gaiden is great so i'm glad Rob Florence is gonna be involved with this, he seems like a modern day Dominic Diamond.

Stunned this was back, stunned it was quite good.
Ratings were godawful though - folk either don't know it exists, or don't care, alas.

Hey, Grado's in this.
I liked it, but it's way too long. I prefer 25 or 30 mins.

Being able to watch this in Canada without region-blocking bullshit is greatly appreciated.

Boo. Gamesworld was better. Yep. Bob Mills was a great host and the Violet Blade was a fantastic Videator. Good times.

I remember the 2000s SKY rip-off Gamezville. I remember always catching that on the days I recorded Battlestar Galactica
