Quite agree, Dorian.

I think Dorian's comment was summing up your position.

rules of the game and filming schedule are made pretty clear at the audition stage and teams have a reserve player so these guys have no excuse
oh except they're the master race of course

I am interested in the opinion of Fabio Capello, Pavel Nedved, Fabio Cannavaro and a few members of the Bullingdon Club for good measure.

Yeah, they do. Believe this rule was introduced when one team had a fundamentalist Christian in the team who wouldn't go to recordings on a Sunday.

This Corpus Christi mob also changed their captain in the course of the series - which I've never seen happen before

I hope it does - time to put all those morons in their place. Or something.

average age 30? fack off.

― history mayne, Monday, 28 September 2009 19:47 (fourteen years ago) link
Kinda sorta.
We've thrashed thru the idea of a handicapping system for oldsters before but this wd discriminate against the Open University and presumably there's the odd Oxbridge college for the menopausal and time rich too?

this was average age 30 vs 19.
lol i mean im a 29-y-o postgraduate student, and if i went on (with some science dudes lol) i'd rock the shit. but i wouldn't go on!
so maybe my compromise position is allowing mature students, i.e. doing their first degrees.

I agree the age ish is a problem but wd allow one post-grad per team so I don't have to give up my dream of killing on this one day.
― Oppositional Soup (Noodle Vague), Monday, 28 September 2009 20:01 (fourteen years ago) link
Unless they do a "The Unprofessionals" special series.
yeah watching this just thinking average of 30 a bit of a swizz and then they had all they anatomical questions and that too. a bit much

Joe Satriani in the music round- nice.

I only got the Neil Innes one, but was thrown by Paxman saying (or me mishearing) that the rip-off was from 1984.
― Neil S, Monday, 6 September 2010 19:23 (thirteen years ago) link
Does Joe Satriani actually exist? I thought he was an archetype of self-indulgent masturbatory noodling invented by nervous indie fux to justify their lack of instrumental talent.
― no time for the prussian death cult (nakhchivan), Monday, 6 September 2010 19:38 (thirteen years ago) link
I thought the Satriani one was ripped off by Dancing in the Moonlight by Toploader. Got the rest of them though.
― ailsa, Monday, 6 September 2010 19:38 (thirteen years ago) link
wasn't that toploader song a cover of an old soul hit though?
― Chaki doesn't have beef with unicorn (stevie), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 07:21 (thirteen years ago) link
Oh probably, I don't pay much attention to the career of Toploader tbh.
― ailsa, Tuesday, 7 September 2010 07:47 (thirteen years ago) link
doubtless a wise approach!

i wish i could find a youtube of the time they played derrick may "strings of life" and asked the contestant "what genre of music is this seminal track credited with creating?" and this geeky dude was like....."synth?" and an obviously exasperated paxman is like "techno!!!"
(i lied about him being exasperated)
