The latest Popbitch reports on a new BBC3 ‘observational gameshow’, Clever vs. Stupid. Apparently, it sets challenges for two teams, one formed from stereotypically clever people (academics) and one from stupid people (presumably, chavs, tactfully referred to on the show as ‘stupids’).

Unless I’ve taken leave of my senses, isn’t this the original pitch for QI, but without the amusing celeb types (clever or otherwise)? Still, good to see BBC3 has enough time for recycling panel show ideas and making them worse, rather than just being busy ruining perfectly good pilot shows by removing the darkness and ideally suited actors.
