The Weakest Link fans call for second series with Romesh Ranganathan
Viewers have given their verdict on the Weakest Link reboot – and they want more!
After years off the air, The Weakest Link returned recently, with Romesh Ranganathan becoming the new host and various celebrities taking to the show's infamous podiums to raise some money for charity.
While Anne Robinson's shoes were pretty big ones to fill, it looks as though the League of Their Own host has impressed the public, with many viewers calling for the reboot's return.
In an exclusive poll, RadioTimes.com readers said that they would like a second series of Ranganathan's Weakest Link, with 68 per cent saying it was great.
Just 32 per cent of viewers revealed that they preferred the original, while some took to Twitter to voice their opinions, with one writing: "I didn't expect I'd like it – but was pleasantly surprised."
