    I wonder why series 3 contestants weren't allowed back in?

    My guess is that they'll move that limit as time goes on- so next year series 3 contestants will be allowed on, then the year after series 4 and so on?

    Yes, sorry I was being flippant again. I just didn't realise Katie Br*m*ll-St**n*r didn't actually win until series 4.

    Number of teams in each of the first four rounds.

    Plus they might not show the episodes in the same strict order.

    I might have done given my previous post. Couldn't think of anything else it could have been except powers of 2 in pairs

    Quite possibly the most irritating programme on televison. Merely a vehicle allowing Victoria Coren to justify her existence. Now on BBC2! Please make that hideous cow disappear Mummy...PLEASE!!!

    Hideous=Victoria Coren? No, it's just not feasible. Sounds like someone's becoming a bit green-eyed...

    She doesn't need to justify her existence. I'm sure she's very happy being who she is - intelligent, first class degree in English from Oxford, attractive, witty, happily married, wealthy, journalist, writer, successful poker player .......................

    I'm sure many would like to have her existence.

    It doesn't matter what order they're shown. They're not going to change the number of teams in each round or show the rounds out of order.

    Don't watch it then. It's only 30 minutes of TV a week. It's not like she's on everything.

    Just look at his posting history, been trolling all over Digital Spy for several days.

    Just add to the Ignore List.

    If Heidi's mummy is reading this, please don't let your daughter have unsupervised access to your PC.

    What I meant was they might not show the episodes in the strict order in the explanation. The whole first round consists of 20 matches reducing 16 teams to 8.

    Your obviously not intelligent enough to know that you can make her disappear all by yourself. Change channel or use the off button. Simple enough, even for you:)

    Welcome back, btw.

    Typical.

    It moves to BBC2 and we're already getting grammar failures in the thread.

    On Dave last night I caught one from the first OC series (with Greek letters) and Mark Labbett who's now a Chaser. All the connections seemed rather easier than recent series.

    It's almost like these are being shown out of sequence. In the first series, VCM was saying "not a group" for every incorrect attempt on the Wall, then she stopped, but now she's started again!

    Nah, the point is that you watch on Monday, and then you have to guess what episode will be shown on Thursday. If you need any help, you can always watch Tuesday's episode. but you get less points.

    Calm down dear, not really.
    I fear the questions are just as tricky but the contestants aren't up to the task.

    The small pool of OCD/savant/nerds has been used up in the original series so now we are left with run-of-the-mill Pub Qiuizzers and professional TV Quiz show-offs who can name all the US State Capitals but can't see a convoluted but simple connection .

    Can we remind the Viccy groupies, Poker champ or not, that she would be presenting sod all on the BBC if it wasn't for her famous Dad.
