If you’ve had the misfortune to watch any of the new series of Catchphrase, you’ll have noticed a few differences. For one, it is now presented by P&O-ferry-magician-gone-rogue Stephen Mulhern, and not silver Ulster comedian Roy "et's gewd but et's nat kwaite raide" Walker. The clues have changed too, presented now in creepy, early-internet 3D animation, giving it the feel of a learning game you’d have been disappointed to get with a magazine in 1998. These differences are only skin deep, though, and are for the most part tolerable. But there’s something more sinister pervading the world of shitty TV gameshows that most people are too busy to actually care about.
