Hi, my name's Cameron and I work in security. #Puzzling #startrek

Catching up with tonight's #Puzzling, and it's a #quiz show format that's really grown on us. Some horribly difficult rounds in it. #LucyWorsley as host works surprisingly well too, as she's delightfully odd. We like delightfully odd. We did contemplate combining quizzing with another favourite activity of ours - drinking - to take a shot every time she waves her arms around expressively for no real reason, but realised we'd be legless before the first ad break.

The Week looks at Puzzling, a brain strain quiz in primetime on Channel 5.

If one can look beyond the bits they've borrowed from Only Connect, there's a decent show: mostly well-paced, enough to keep the mind ticking over, done in the most friendly atmosphere, and the series winner will have earned their title.

Also: Emmy nominations, and is Christopher Biggins the mole?

As big #quiz fans we record #Puzzling on Channel 5 and we're catching up with tonight's episode now. Some horribly difficult rounds on it. Lucy Worsley is the host. She's one of those academics who's wound up in TV presenting duties over the past few years, she's definitely not a natural TV host, but we really like the occasional awkwardness and forced normality she tries to exude. Hell, we just like nerdy people. #LucyWorsley

Oh look. Slightly rubbish Only Connect is on Channel 5 again. #Puzzling

Oh dear. Not only do the contestants sing on Channel 5's #Puzzling, but the host does as well.

#OnlyConnect returns on 17 July.

Just finished the first ep of #Puzzling on Channel 5.

Slow, drawn-out, and the graphics are really too small.

There's probably a serviceable show in there. Maybe it'll make more of an impression in ep2 when the format is more familiar.

For any cryptic crossword solvers, I have a new puzzle up at MyCrossword.co.uk (as HairApparent). A huge debt to my test solver and constructive critic @SGriew [Twitter] with this one, as well as to @RaiderCrossword [also Twitter] for the site. I hope solvers like it, and as always I'm always grateful for any criticisms that feed into doing better next time.

(And if you see this and you're a cryptics person I'm not following yet, HMU!)

I’ve decided to try an experiment with my jigsaw videos. As well as getting the full video on YouTube, you can now listen to the audio only as a podcast. If, like me, you are wanting to listen to podcasts on the go or at the gym, then check out episode 1 of Jigsaws 🧩 with Jamie which is available now wherever you get your podcasts!

A trifle of a morning thought…on what’s happening in your brain when working on a difficult jigsaw puzzle and without thinking you pick up a random piece and know exactly where it goes — as opposed to the hours spent methodically organizing by color, shape… #Jigsaws #Mindless #Flow #Puzzling

Haven’t done one of these in decades so I started easy. Came home and worked straight thru dinner to finish and now it’s practically bedtime! #puzzling
