Others were confused:
The show has been described in various reviews and previews as:
[Discovery Life's] most promising programme.
50 Ways to Kill Your Mother is actually a lovely portrait of a mother and son who appear to genuinely enjoy each other’s company.
…part travel, part endearing relationship, part oddball adventure show
50 Ways originally aired on Sky One on this side of the Atlantic, and now Ashmawy has landed his own Sky One gameshow called the fanatics.
Meanwhile Baz and Nancy’s antics have also been picked up for broadcast in Israel, France, Poland, Canada and New Zealand. The pair are also in talks about a second season.
