Comedian Romesh Ranganathan's new show Parents' Evening launched on Saturday night - but viewers spotted one big problem. The ITV show was hit with same the complaint from those tuning in.

The comedy game show sees celebrities team up with family members, with the parents choosing which questions their grown-up children will answer and gambling on how many they can get right. Alison Hammond appeared on the first episode with son Aidan alongside Carol Vorderman and her son Cameron and Love Island narrator Iain Stirling with his mum Alison.

But viewers weren't impressed with one aspect of the show. They were frustrated with the questions disappearing too quickly from the sceens.

One viewer wrote on X: "Think just 3 episodes in this series ??? Just need Romesh and contestants faces in mini screen shots at bottom of screen allow questions stay on screen longer too many cut aways from main question options hint hint series 2 changes."

A second said: "#ParentsEvening quiz shows are usually about letting the home viewer guest the answers but in this case the questions weren't on screen long enough for us to have a go."

A third begged: "#ParentsEvening keep the questions on screen!" And a fourth added: "Obligatory new game show tweet - I’m liking #ParentsEvening. Yeah, the questions should stay on screen somehow and it’s annoying that they don’t - but they can fix that. I like the format and it all works otherwise. So far, so good…"
