Where to Watch Romesh Ranganathan’s Parents’ Evening Television Show
Romesh Ranganathan’s new ITV game show, Parents’ Evening, has sparked debate among viewers after its debut. The show features celebrity duos, including Alison Hammond and her son, Carol Vorderman and her son, and Iain Stirling with his mother, competing in a knowledge-based challenge.
Parents’ Evening Format and Controversy
The game show’s format involves contestants predicting their partner’s performance on a series of questions. However, the rapid pace at which questions disappear from the screen has drawn criticism. Viewers have expressed frustration at not being able to play along at home due to the limited time to read and answer the questions.

Some viewers took to social media to voice their concerns, suggesting adjustments for future episodes, such as keeping questions displayed longer or incorporating smaller screens with contestants’ faces to allow for simultaneous question viewing. Others defended the show, praising the overall format and suggesting the issue with question visibility could be easily rectified.
Alison Hammond’s Playful Dynamic with Son
Beyond the question controversy, Parents’ Evening also generated buzz around Alison Hammond’s playful banter with her son, Aidan. Hammond’s humorous lack of confidence in her son’s abilities amused viewers, with many praising her “ruthless” commentary and finding humor in her interactions.
