I did! I also got Nancy Pelosi for 5 points.

The walls did not seem similarly difficult - I tore through the first one and had no clue about the second.

Same. The first was pretty straightforward, which made me underestimate the second. (I’ve only just started watching it)

Some "characters" on the teams this week. I liked the old guy getting angry at his team captain for not buzzing in. "JUST GO FOR IT."

Everyone looked disgusted by the flag question and who can blame them.

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

I knew the flag question.

Bugle crisps?

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Yeah they’re cone shaped so you can put them on your fingers and pretend they’re claws... for instance.

Bugle crisps?

The Nacho Cheese ones are the best. All the other ones are shite.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Maybe they're banned in Scotland because people use them as weapons.

Is this a UK show? I used to love Bugles.

Oh cool. I found some old episodes on Youtube. I'ma check them out after I get back from walking the dogs.

 

[CaptainWacky]

It's a quiz show for intelligent people. And also I watch it.

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

It also is aggressively a UK show so when there's a question about cricket infielders born overseas or coats of arms of Princes of Wales you just have to go with it.

Emma covering her mouth because she believed the other team might be lip reading her from across the studio really annoyed me, but then I got more annoyed at myself for getting annoyed at such a trivial thing.

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

The two guys on the winning team seem to hate each other, right. I didn't imagine that?

 

[CaptainWacky]

I thought so too! Or specifically I thought the non-Captain hated the Captain. I think I noted him shouting at the Captain the last time they were on.

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

They were a constructed team IIRC, I don't think they're importing family tension or whatever.

 

[CaptainWacky]

The two non-Captains are celebrities.

They have the look of people who would show up during a pictures sequence that I wouldn't recognise.

INSPECTOR GADGET

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

I did get the chess sequence, Victoria.

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

Imagine going on television and confusing Céline Dion for Shania Twain.

As well as this week's regular episode (always nice to have a Star Trek question so I feel like I know something) there's four Christmas Specials as well from Tuesday to Friday. I watched tonight's, it was completely inessential but well done to the girl who got that Avengers connection on the wall because I didn't see shit.
