Very true, Ibrahima. I don't normally do this, sir, but I will offer one small clue. Boxingthefox was on the right lines very early on... but didn't ask the question! :( Perhaps it would be fitting to give BTF the last guess.

Haven't been following closely and I don't watch TV, so I don't know if any of his shows are back but Gordon Burns fits the bill with what has been said before.

I feel that I was very lenient on you this evening, gentlemen! I don't normally show such generosity during my quizzes, you know! :)
Joking aside, thank you all very much for playing, it's much appreciated.

Boxingthefox suggested asking if it was an old or current quiz show back at the outset... but nobody picked up on it. Had you asked that question, gentlemen, I believe we would have had a record success on our hands.
