Celebrity Letters and Numbers (2021)
Enjoyable and welcome
I thoroughly enjoy this show, and I think it is great that Letters and Numbers can return to Australian television in this format.
Yes, I'd never heard of most of the "celebrities", and this show looks amateurish if held up against 9 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. However, I don't think it claims to be anything more than SBS having fun with the much-loved Letters and Numbers - which still draws an audience despite it being reruns of reruns.
Letters and Numbers has appeal because we all enjoy playing along at home. As well as adding a bit of fun, the celebrity version gives us the chance to actually score as highly as the contestants.
It is also great to see that David Astle (letters expert) and Lily Serna (numbers expert) can hold their own with the celebrities' banter.
I hope this show continues.
