How does it rate compared to the original one from years ago?
Hopefully the new season means new guests and also some new segments akin to 8O10CDC. Kind of sick and tired of seeing Carlo Ritchie, Adam Richard and Merrick Watts on almost every episode in the last two seasons.

They should listen to the feedback and switch to the 8 out of 10 Cats format of two teams of two, even if that means ditching the DC guest to switch them to being a competitor. And that way you can have two captains who appear on every episode.

Celebrity Letters And Numbers - Season 3
Monday 26 September 7:35 pm
Hosted by Michael Hing, each week three celebrity contestants compete in a hilarious version of the classic show ‘Letters and Numbers’. Featuring wordsmith David Astle in Dictionary Corner offering endless nuggets of wisdom that you never knew you didn’t know! Over at the board, numbers expert Lily Serna explains mathematical techniques in a way that makes complete sense.
Also featuring a special guest each week in Dictionary Corner, assisting David and providing their own brand of knowledge in a dedicated segment. The compulsive play along letters and numbers games are back with the all-important conundrum buzzer round to crown the winning celebrity.
Episode 1: Michael, David and Lily are joined by celebrity contestants Dave Thornton, Alex Lee, Luke McGregor and special Dictionary Corner guest Alasdair Tremblay-Birchall.
First time the celebrity version airs on a weeknight. Maybe it can lift SBS’ paltry Monday ratings.
Glad that the show is returning. But it looks like it will be three teams of one again. Should have been two teams of duos. So they can banter more with each other.
The show didn’t really do that well on Saturday nights, so glad its been moved to Monday nights.

Still got the funsize lettersboard too.
I still have episodes of season 2 recorded which I haven’t watched. It became very tedious after a while.
This definitely is part of the problem. The dynamics are different with two teams of two.

Can’t they find a thicker marker for Lily to use so we can actually see the Maths on the whiteboard?

I think they’re starting to find their groove with Celebrity Letters and Numbers. Last week’s episode was very good. Probably because they had a better quality of celebrity on the show.
Cal Wilson was great in Dictionary Corner. Mark Humphries and Matt Okine were good celebrity players.
Still think the show would be much better if they had two teams of two, like the British version does.

Good that its returning. Just hope they listen to us and make some adjustments/improvements to the show for next year…

Why was it cancelled years ago ?
Probably because it repeated too well, so SBS didn’t see the need to continue with new episodes.
Short sighted of course because more new episodes means even more to repeat - they could get away with half the episode count and have a new series for half the year then repeat the series from last year in the second half.
