People are joking they need binoculars to watch the new quiz show.

There is nothing better than ditching the pub and curling up on your sofa on a Saturday night to watch a good old-fashioned gameshow.

While you might not get to see the answers in advance, you should at least be able to see the questions you’re answering.

Well, that is the criticism a lot of viewers had with the new quiz show, The 1% Club, hosted by comedian Lee Mack.

The ITV show sees contestants compete against each other to win up to £100,000. But, in order to get the cash prize at the end, they will need to answer a question that only 1% of the country can get right.

Although it sounds like a great concept and many had a lot of praise for the gameshow, there was one big problem that viewers just could not ignore.

People couldn’t play from home because they can’t read the questions displayed on the screen!

Taking to Twitter to share their feelings about the issue, one person said: “Please make the images/pictures bigger! I’m wearing my glasses and still squinting.”

Another wrote: “Would help if you could see the sodding pictures…pointless trying to play at home if they keep shrinking them!!!!#The1PercentClub”.

A third tweeted: “You need a 7 foot wide telly to play along with #The1PercentClub... Or binoculars!!”

A lot of the tweets about the show mentioned this little snag, so hopefully the production team will pick it up and make some changes so viewers can actually play at home.

That said, many viewers had a lot of praise for the show as well- especially for its host Lee Mack.

One person wrote: “I know I say this every week but #LeeMack is brilliant at hosting the #TheOnePercentClub . If it'd been Schofield, AntnDec or even Holly Willibooby presenting it, it wouldn't have worked. Lee Mack is absolutely the right person for the job. A proper comedian. #The1PercentClub”.

Another said: “#The1PercentClub Lee Mack, best game show host ever?”

A third commented: “Lee Mack is brilliant on #The1PercentClub”.

The 1% Club airs Saturdays at 9.30pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
