What Happened
Vernon Kay’s new quiz show, Do You Know Your Place?, premiered on February 23 on BBC Two, featuring Paul Gorton as an ‘unreliable’ tour guide. The show tests celebrity contestants’ knowledge of the UK, with Gorton providing commentary from various locations across the country.
Why It Matters
The show aims to combine elements of a quiz and a travel show, but early viewer reactions have been mixed. Some audience members criticized the format, describing it as ‘absolute tosh’ and expressing disappointment with its execution. Despite the backlash, Vernon Kay expressed enthusiasm for the show’s concept, highlighting its focus on British culture and competitive spirit.
What’s Next
As the series continues for four weeks, it remains to be seen whether viewer feedback will lead to adjustments in the show’s format. The lineup of celebrity guests will rotate, and future episodes may address the criticisms raised by the audience. Gorton’s role as a tour guide will likely evolve as the series progresses.
