Why is Craig still going to school? Haven't GCSEs finished at Weathy High yet? (assuming he took any - I haven't heard it mentioned?)
Because the writers seem to have forgotten his age and school year along with not properly understanding state schools (look back at Faye's school trip for a good example).
There were 50 questions, divided into ten rounds of five questions each. Each round had a theme title (sometimes misleading) . At the end of the quiz, each team could mark a large "J" against the round for which they'd get double points. They could also put a large "X" through one round - this round wouldn't be counted. Leaving a possible 50 marks for the quiz.
The important point is that it was after the teams had heard all the questions - even then, some teams picked the wrong round for one or the other!

That sounds very complicated. I have always played it that the teams choose which round they have their double-points joker from the cryptic subject title, before the questions are asked.
I am contemplating doing a 'double or nothing' question / round - haven't quite worked out the logistics yet !!
The pub quiz scenes were a load of shite. I've been to hundreds of pup quizzes and used to run them as well. I've never seen the quiz master read out the questions from behind the bar - not once. They're always set up at the end of the pub somewhere or in a booth. Nonsense from the writers.
Not necessarily nonsense. I go to a quiz every week and the quiz master is behind the bar.
Likewise with the pub I work in. Between questions, they may be serving at the bar.
My local pub quiz has a Wipeout round, whereby if you put down an incorrect answer for any one question, your entire round is wiped out regardless of any other correct answers you may have given. So it's safer to leave it blank unless you're 100% certain. And just to try and keep it on topic, no pub would host a quiz night on a Friday - no need, which is why they are usually on a quiet night, in our case a Tuesday.

I'm confused. Why would you not want one round to be counted?

Totally agree, I used to do quizs in 4 different pubs & the quiz master was always behind the bar, normally at the flip up bit & would also serve the odd pint if needed during the quiz then at the interval also.
Yes strange all the bar staff off on a busy night. Nearly as strange as Roy arranging a driving lesson at 1pm... lunchtime in a cafe!
I thought that. No one who owns a cafe voluntarily makes appointments at lunchtime. No chance.
Same as Nick the owner of the local restaurant. No way he'd be in The Rovers on a Friday night.
And what about Eileen and Michael and Lloyd? They were all there and Steve's still in Spain, so I suppose Streetcars don't see the need for too many staff in a taxi firm on the Friday night after payday.
And since when did Andrea work behind the bar? Where were Sarah and Sean and Michelle? You're having a quiz on a Friday night to bring the punters in, so you give every member of staff that night off so you need to ask one of the customers to step in when there is an emergency, do you?
I see.

I've honestly never seen that. I'm in the Glasgow area and it's just not done that way here. I've been going to, and hosting quizzes, for 25 years and the quiz master is always situated at a table set up for him or her or in a booth with all the equipment and speakers set up. In fact punters are often asked to move so he can get set up.
and so this completely random "Julie Carp" would just accept this bizarre offer to go on a round the world cruise with some guy she has never met......yes makes total sense
Believe it or not it happened in real life a few weeks ago.
Does anyone know how Deidrie's going to be written out? Or has it happened and I've missed it?
Yes, I know how she is going to be written out.
Basically Ken and Tracy are preparing a 'welcome home' party for her, when they get a call from Bev (who she is staying with) to say that she has died.
Can't believe Miley's just going to be handed over to a bunch of strangers. Anna and co know nothing about Jackson's family apart from that they have a gormless drip of a son who has terrible taste in girls.
Jackson is a teenage boy. Says it all. The actor is atrocious btw. Hope this is the last we see of this family unless they move into the Street!!!!!
No she's not been written out yet, she even helped Ken with the quiz questions.
It seems strange that Ken would bother Deirdre with such a trivial thing like a table quiz when she isn't at home. I'm guessing she submitted her contribution over email or by letter then
It just seems weird.
That sounds very complicated. I have always played it that the teams choose which round they have their double-points joker from the cryptic subject title, before the questions are asked......................
The first time I used it I had to go round before the teams swapped papers, but after that it worked with no problems.

Yes I thought it was a bit odd too but obviously a way to keep her mentioned at the moment

I think you're making a huge assumption here, or do you just have a dirty mind? People do go on trips together without having sex you know!
Didn't he mention "Can I have a P please Bob?" which would mean he could only be referring to the earlier series which ended when he was 3.
Yeah, fair point, but 'Can I have a 'P' please, Bob' is certainly a well known catchphrase.

I imagine that's where the phrase, meaning double points, originated. Though wasn't it that rugby bloke and stuart somebody?

at least it was only her armpits
Ok God, thanks for letting me know.

I can't at some people!
