It's so much up my street.
Ailsa, it would've been so much up mine 10, and even more, 20 years ago but now my reaction times have been shot through age and I don't know a lot of the modern stuff, so....

Good follow up joke about Kate Tempest available but ah fuck it tonight's the most coverage she's had in 5 years

Forgive me if I'm missing a joke about her ubiquity, but she's on 6 Music all the time, which is why I got that group.
So weird that whathisface knew all those 1908 books quick smart but couldn't see that Amsterdam and Atonement were written by the same person.

I always assumed the bonus questions come up randomly but courtauld have been very lucky both times in having a lot of art questions and very few detailed science ones. Amazed they didn't get Lucian Freud though.

Not sure whether his Alex Trebek t-shirt is meant to be a dig at Paxo or not. If not, and it's just a straight-up tribute to Trebek, then I still like him.
― trishyb, Thursday, 12 December 2019 23:34 (four years ago) link
The show was recorded the week Trebek was diagnosed with cancer. It's a straight-up tribute.

In that case, I applaud him.

Agatha Christie novels are a disadvantage because they are long and you have a very limited time.
HI I'M ERIC MONKMAN!

I actually did okay (not comparable to the full-on quizzers here, but okay) on the Christie round but yeah, they're a lot more of a mouthful than most countries or football teams.
Bloody tough show this one, amazingly good work to get into the second round, Ailsa.

Just got home in time to see Ailsa and have a laugh with my mom about Monkman

Cheers guys. There was a hell of a lot of editing, I was stuck inside the studio/green room for 15 hours on the hottest day of the year.
Still, at least I'm now mates with Barry from Eastenders.

Monkman totally Monkmans it up for the camera, he's really quite quiet
The highlight of my entire day was when Bobby found out that the warmup guy also did warmups for Love Island and asked him so many questions about Love Island that the guy was weirded out. He kept trying to get back to do his audience bit but Bobby was all "wait! What's Caroline Flack really like? Do you know in advance what they're going to show? Do you get to see everything that doesn't go on TV?" and the guy's all "I just do jokes with the audience..."

It was very interesting to see how little Wadham pissed about with discussions when they weren't in the lead.

― Kebabs Windsor (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 January 2020 23:52 (four years ago) link
the best thing of the decade thing Osman did was long and unnecessary but usually he improves everything he's on.
Christmas only connect specials have been a treat, UC less so, even if the questions were pitched at just about my level. couldn't be bothered with big fat quiz of the decade.

Really enjoyed Richard Coles and one other from his team dishing out defeat to a series of Oxbridge alums (including some political journalists I dislike and Allison Pearson, who must be the stupidest woman ever admitted by Cambridge). Shame the final aired on the day he buried his husband, though.
― santa clause four (suzy), Saturday, 4 January 2020 07:14 (four years ago) link
I share Suzy's approval of the victory of Leeds University over Wadham College - a dreadful, reprehensible, though effective team.
I was thrilled by COLES and GEE's excellence in overcoming them.
Was Allison Pearson really on this series though? That sounds 'divisive' - I mean she is practically at Katy Hopkins level by now.
Funnily enough Osman posted something during the election about the Con party wanting to privatize the NHS. I have tried to be more positive about him since.
― the pinefox, Saturday, 4 January 2020 09:41 (four years ago) link
Osman is a centrist melt. I love him on Pointless but dislike his presentation style solo - I think he's a great straight man but a bad frontman?
