Making a BBC complaint?

I'm not surprised that you haven't received anything other than an automated response when you put in the complaint on a Saturday evening and it is still only Sunday. I wouldn't expect anyone to even look at it until Monday at the earliest and then they'd probably have to refer it to the production team for the show in question to look into before you get a response.

Because it annoyed me :P especially as I had told people in the room the correct answer already and it made me look silly when they messed it up.

What was the question/answer?

It was on Saturdays The National Lottery: Secret Fortune, basically the contestants were given a list of Judo belt colours and asked which was the lowest grade, which was pretty unfair in the first place as belt colour schemes differ by country and nobody uses the original 1882 system. They answered red which is correct in the UK as in British Judo red is the belt between white and yellow. However they lost big time on it and when the computer revealed the answers it appeared to show the BBC had researched the American colour grades instead of the UK ones thus making the contestants walk away with 5k instead of 75k.

IMO it was flat wrong as it would have been the same as asking how many litres the are in a gallon then saying "oh sorry we meant US gallons not imperial, you lose".

Lol well guessed, I mustn't have been the only one it threw then.
 
Post this on reddit?


Knowing reddit some one will know some one who knows some one who knows the contestants uncle on Facebook and they can tell them and some one else will know some one who's a producer at the BBC etc etc.
 
I saw the OP and thought <insert usual response to 99% ocuk *rant* posts> then read the actual complaint.
Fair play tbh, seems pretty harsh. One would assume most quiz questions would be based on the UK version of whatever it was based on.
Ah well, could be worse....
 
I imagine that you sign a waiver when you take part in a gameshow like this to say that the answer on the "card" is what they're interested in, never mind the "real" answer.
