    Trials and Evo riddle showcased on UKTV

    Hey gang,
    So, back in June is was lucky enough to be contacted over Twitter by a researcher for an upcoming TV show in the UK, but with a twist. A well known comedian called Dara Ó Briain is hosting the first series of a show called 'Dara Ó Briain Go 8 Bit' and it's on Channel 'Dave'.
    It's basically and gaming show, but with special guests, and comedians go head to head on all types of game genres from over the years.. It starts on September 5th, and there is an App available if anyone is keen to watch it.. Trials Fusion is 1 game they chose to showcase.
    I expect everyone to tune in.. After all, I'm on it right! Number 1 RedLynx fan and all that.

    Free view - Channel number 12.
    Sky - Channel number 111.


    Twitter Post - Twitter Link

    App Link - UKTV Play - catch up with Dave, Yesterday, Really and Drama on demand. Watch British and American TV series later. by UKTV Interactive Ltd
    Go 8 Bit

    Website Google Link - Go 8 Bit

    Channel Dave link - Details and Channel Link

    The reason I was contacted, was if I was interested in going on the show to talk about the Trials Evolution Riddle.. Obviously I accepted. I appear on the show as a guest, but in the audience. They wanted me to bring the Riddle key along, and to discuss a little bit about it. It got a good section of airtime, and I hope they show the full pre-recorded segment.
    There is also some Fusion MP gameplay too. The two teams, each with 2 members, (Jason Manford & Ed Byrn) to play some multiplayer.. So funny to watch. I'm on the final Episode, which I think is the 6th one. This will be in October sometime. It's a brand new series, so only 6 are made for now. Probably to see how ratings go.
    I hope people take the time to watch it. I was there for 5 hours, just to record a 1 hour episode. I spent the night in a 5 star hotel, which over looked Wembley stadium.. It was a great experience, and it was about the thing we all love.. TRIALS.

    Plenty of links above to search for it..

    Really hope you guys will tune in, and watch me try to explain the Evo Riddle.

    So Antti, NOW can I have a job??

    Wow what an opportunity!

    I'm very happy for you, can't wait to see this on TV I've always been a huge fan of Dave, shows like 'mock the week' have been a big part of my childhood in the way of TV so the fact some of favourite comedians are going to be hosting something regarding trials is amazing!
    All I can hope for is that one of the teams on the Trials episode will have Frankie Boyle then my life will be complete

    Good job Morfy, what a legend!

    Cheers Seb. It's actually pretty similar to Mock the Week. It was recorded at the same studio too. It's Defos One of my favourite Comedy shows, & Frankie Boyle is hilarious.
    The teams on the Trials showcase night had Ed Byrn on 1, and Jason Manford on the other.. Ed was on form that night.
    The whole experience was great though. I'm a lucky guy, that's for sure.
    I just hope someone will record the episode or just the Trials segment, because other counties can't get Channel Dave, and the UKTV app is UK region only.. It would be cool to post it for those who want to watch it, but can't.
    I've contacted the production team, to get a copy of the Trials segment.. Just waiting on a reply. Fingers crossed.

    Quite excited to see this actually. That easter egg/secret/riddle definitely deserves more publicity, I've seen a few 'Best video game secrets' videos on Youtube and Trials is never on the list which is a bit frustrating.
    I've been watching this show these past few weeks. Episode 3 was aired on Monday so 3 more weeks for the Trials segment. I'll be very surprised if they show much of your bit Morfy. So far they haven't done any interviews with any devs. Usually before they play a game an 'expert' does a little back story on the game and that's it. As for the show itself, it's alright. The stage spinning around can get a bit tedious and I really wish they had proper gamers. Not just random celebrity guests.

    Anyway, you can find the full episodes over on Reddit soon after they air.
