The wonderful BBC4/BBC2 panel quiz "Only Connect" used to use Greek letters as question identifiers. Then, at the start of the fourth series, Victoria Coren announced

"Just let me just explain something at this stage. It's a new series and something's changed.

Only Connect is a much-loved show. There's only one thing that people have ever disliked and it is the Greek letters. People have written in over the last few series and said these are pretentious. They're elitist, snobbish even. Somebody even said they were silly. We listened. The Greek letters are gone.

So, please choose your Egyptian hieroglyph."
