Yes I really look forward to the last game of the week on a Friday and switch over only to find some programme called Strictly Come Dancing is on.
It has been that way every Friday since the Strictly series began, to be fair...

Yes, I've noticed but only recently. I think the other 'entertainment' programme should be on a dancing channel. Maybe it will be all over soon, like the other 'entertainment' contest on ITV.

Have they changed the move-one-to-their-left practice? I thought that Pat and Beth should have been on tonight.

Still no Celebrity Eggheads this Christmas by the looks of it - I used to like that, but it's been a few years since they've done it.

The orders definitely gone wrong somewhere, Chris replacing Judith is weird.

Dave and Science, don't really go.

Barry wins on Film and TV
Dave wins on Science
Chris wins on Music
Kevin loses on Arts and Books

Lisa, Barry, Dave and Chris lose and the Challengers win £18,000

Next show is worth £1,000

Before he was unexpectedly knocked out Kevin managed to crack a joke about Daphne being a masked drummer for a heavy metal band!

Kevin would have got the final question had he been there. Beating him made all the difference. Only the 6th time Kevin has ever lost on Arts and Books.

Very good team, the Arts and Books round was played fantastically well, she should have got the final multiple choice question considering it was her first inclination but even then she still managed to beat Kevin. The Ottoman Empire answer was brilliant as well.

Maybe Judith was absent from this filming block. I believe she spends most of her time in France so she may have missed a bit.

Really enjoyed tonight's edition with Tomorrow's People victorious. Getting Kevin out was fortunate - did he know that it was 1931? The questions I have are, as a relatively new viewer, what is the biggest rollover sum that has been won (if anyone out there knows) and what would be the case if each of the challengers lost their round, there would be no-one to represent them in a final - has this happened before?

There are only 4 rounds and teams of 5 so there is always guaranteed to be someone in the final round. Today Lisa wasnt participating in any of the question rounds but she was in the final as she hadnt played at all.

The Largest win was by a team called Beer today, gone tomorrow who won £75,000. That was back in 2007

The new Eggheads episodes will take a break after Thursday for 2 weeks (its the usual Christmas break) and the New Episodes will resume on the 2nd January

Kevin said that no party has had over 50% of the vote since WW2 so yes, he knew.

That was one of those questions you either knew or you didn't, there was only so much you could narrow it down through logic (discounting obviously 1997 immediately because modern day elections don't have those kind of landslides). I too thought it would have been 1945, for the same reasons as the Eggs, because I knew Attlee came in with a landslide after the war.

We'd muted the tv at the point Kevin was speaking and so weren't sure if he knew the answer, not surprised that he did obviously.

Kevin's 6th loss in 85 games. A brilliant record though I'd have thought it would be even better. Given that it couldn't happen in the multiparty era, '45 seemed the logical answer as it's always referred to as a landslide.

Dave seems to have become very assertive and bossy in the final rounds these days. He shouts the others down. Maybe more so when Kevin is absent?

Dave seems to do that even when he isnt sure of the answer. He had a very strong MMAE but since the regular series has returned he hasnt done all that well. Ive noticed him shutting Beth out on a couple of occasions. I dont think he does it intentionally, he doesnt seem like that sort of person, but it does happen on occasion.

What has Monomethyl Auristatin got to do with it?
