They should be part of the national curriculum.

Congrats to DavidBill et al. But you must have been getting nervous towarRAB the end!

Hey, the three of us are good at this lark. Shall we go on the show?

 

[bri babe]

I must admit that I did quite well (for me!) on the missing vowels round this week, but as I'm still learning my Greek alphabet (for the first round) perhaps you'd better count me out.

I think that, for the final, she should do the connecting wall wearing a basque! (only to make it that bit more difficult, you understand )

am i the only one who thought everytime she said chessmen that it sounded like breastmen?

 

[infraredcentipede]

Fair point. I was comparing them with the finals of the last series and the champions of champions game which were repeated over Xmas - and those were devilishly difficult. I could hardly get a single one right.

Actually, that's part of her charm (amongst other things - ahem) and what makes the show good - it's not overproduced or overscripted.

Would love to see her on QI to put her knowledge and wit to the test.

 

[Corie]

Does seem odd this show is not repeated on BBC2...... maybe it's far to highbrow? Bit like the Book Quiz.

Nemesis is very forgettable though. I have it on DVD and even I jumped straight to the new Star Trek as the last connection.

Oddly, there was also a Star Trek question on University challenge that night.

How she got away with that I don't know.

I managed the walls with the

and

, but overall they are hard! On a few walls I got the right groups but didn't know why

There's scope for an iPhone app of this game. I was going to make one myself, actually, but would probably run into too many copyright issues!

 

[The Question Asker O.o]

I did 7 of the 10 - and ran out time on the eighth when I was typing the connections.

Wall #1 was the toughest in my opinion. #4, #5 were really easy, less than a minute for them.

Great fun.

Very good actually, but wrong, it was

Wall 29, "the wall of acronymity" is really easy. So much so I thought it must be a trap. The next one though, with numbers I found impossible, I could only recognise 3 of them, from "sport"

 

[Stuart D]

I was talking in jest. I'm sure that many people would know the National Theatre one - I wouldn't have got it right it you had given me 1,000 guesses.

I was well chuffed getting the cricket one :

Short - good - full - YORKER !!

Also , although not being any kind of a Cole Porter fan , i got most of his missing-vowel-thingies as well !

 

[Mrs Delusional]

The Alesmen looking like the strongest team so far this series - though maybe a little lacking in pop culture.

Almost a fantastic comeback by the other team though. Who would have known that knowledge of Mr Benn would be so useful?

 

[Queen_of_Apology]

Gonna have to watch the repeat.
