Bad Quote by Richard Bacon
“I Literally Just Told You' is a game show about short-term memory and how bad it is. My starting point was that you can give contestants the answer to all of the questions and they will still get them wrong. It turned out to be true. It's quite an absurd fast-moving game show.”
