Great quiz show

I like watching Call My Bluff, it's great, 5 times a week. I started watching call my bluff in 2003, the show is about a word and 3 people give their reason of what it means and one of those is true. If someone gets it wrong then they get Bluff (which means False or it's not true) and if someone gets it right then they get true meaning that it's the right meaning of the word everyone is talking and explaining about.
