    Does anyone enter these, e.g. ITV Play, and via free web entry?

    I shouldn't bother with them. They are currently under investigation for scamming. They charge top dollar per minute on their calls and you have almost zero chance of even getting through, let alone winning.

    A while back I phoned a couple of times, more out of curosity than anything. Haven't you ever noticed that the questions are always really easy but the callers in the first hour or so always get it wrong? That's because you call up and leave your answer on a recording and then they MAY call you back. For the first hour or so, the only ppl they call back to give their answers on the show are ppl who gave the wrong anwer on the recording. That way they keep the top dollar a minute phone calls coming in.

    You're definately wrong on the second point. I have had to leave my recorded answers on their phones.

    I'm talking about the live quiz shows that have sprung up recently, namely ITV Play. You go live on air as soon as you get through, they don't call you and it's a fixed charge per call.
