Beat the Pack

In the cold spring of 2013, BBC1 put out Beat the Pack. It was a bit of a mess, nobody liked it. Nobody really understood it, least of all the producers, who are the one group we'd expect would understand their own programme. Game show fans hated it, host Jake Humphrey went on to do other things, and nobody ever thought about it again.

Until last autumn, when BBC2 dug the tapes out of the broom closet, blew off layers of dust, and put them on screen again.

How does this quiz look with the benefit of hindsight? Was it as confused and boring as legend would have it? Was Beat the Pack a pioneer of elements we've seen again, or was it a vestigial appendix that influenced nobody?

Time to find out.

And if that won't interest you, perhaps some brief thoughts on ITV's second series of Jeopardy! just might.

After 30 years of searching for his lost brother through demonic rituals and summonings, Ford has become a bit of a notorious demon collector over the years. He's made a LOT of deals with MANY different demons over the years; from minor and harmless little entities to big and powerful overlords. Most of the time, these deals aren't really a one-way situation, so a lot of demons have a strong grip on him just as much as he does on them. It often ends up being a mutual sort of destruction, as in: "I know I'm but a mere mortal trifling with things I couldn't begin to fathom, and I know you will destroy me eventually; but I don't care as long as I get to destroy you too." He just needs to live long enough to find his brother.

The red hands are essentially pieces of himself (his soul, you could say??) that he wields as his method of restraint to the demons he has "tamed" so far. They act as a leash to contain each demons' powers, and he can loosen or tighten his hold on them as much as he wants. The number of hands required to contain a demon really depends on their individual strengths, but 3-4 hands are already very energy consuming.

YES, I gave all of his demons stupid names. SUE ME.

✧˖°— the music was too loud and the lights were too dim. the alcohol burned going down—but not nearly as much as the way tobio kageyama looked at you that night. it burned like salt added to a wound.

it happened after a game. celebration after the last win of the season. as the assistant manager of the schweiden adlers, of course you were invited. however, somewhere between the rooftop bar and the suite, between shots and laughter, he kissed you.

no, that bastard didn’t just kiss you—

he held your face like he’d been waiting his whole life to do it.

that was the main catalyst to your current situation; sitting on top of the bone porcelain sink and practically hanging onto the star setter for dear life. you felt your body shake in every thrust, his cock sliding easily in and out of you from your slick. the mirror behind you fogged up and the things on the sink itself were on the floor in an act of pure restlessness.

you pressed your forehead to his and whispered, “this isn’t a mistake, right?”— but it was. an assistant manager and the star player? the damn tabloids would have a field day.

tobio let out a primal, low grunt, vocal fry and breathlessness laced in his whispered words. “no, i’ve wanted this for so long.”

the stolen touches, quick glances across the room, prolong stares before he hits a perfect serve. now here you were, skin to skin in the most literal sense.

your body was pulled towards his own, perky breasts pushed up against his toned chest and face hid in the crook of his neck. you felt tobio hold you tightly as your body slightly bounced with the same vigor as his thrusts. his thrusts became languid and you felt his veiny cock twitch inside you.

“s-shit tobio!” you gasped. you looked at his face; his cheeks all flushed, eyes hooded, and his hair a mess. a small part of your chest tightened at the sight, so vulnerable and so abnormal. tobio kageyama, who was usually out together, all unraveled before you.

which is why you knew this would be the only time you’d be like this, as you were back to strangers the next day.
