How is what they could have done relevant to anything? It was too close to the answer not to be given the point. Referee's decision is final.
She said it herself, the connection was murder. |

If they weren't bothered about the connection being murdering siblings, then why choose that as the connection?
She said it herself, the connection was murder. In fact, I was amazed to see both sides cocking up the wall round royally. To run out of time in the wall round when you know what the answers are because you faff about so much you end up simply not pressing the buttons in time is ruddy criminal. |

They both screwed up the wall in the end by having someone on the team insist they had tried the right combination already, which was frustrating and amusing to watch.

No, the connections was murder by siblings. None of the candidates were murdered by anyone who wasn't their brother, the latter part is just as necessary. If they'd said 'they were all murdered' that wouldn't have been good enough and I suspect they would got a 'I'm going to need more than that..' response from Victoria. 'Betrayed by siblings' is 'more than half right' but not 100% correct IMO. Whether that should be good enough to get the point is, as has been suggested, a referee's decision. Personally I'd actually have said not, as the act of murder was part of the point too - you are correct to say that. But I'm not in charge.
In fact, I was amazed to see both sides cocking up the wall round royally. To run out of time in the wall round when you know what the answers are because you faff about so much you end up simply not pressing the buttons in time is ruddy criminal. It wasn't even that difficult to guess murder once you recognise the names, which they obviously did. I agree with your last point about faffing about on the wall. |

Quizzy Mondays gone. Not happy about that at all, by 8.30 on Friday I am at the bottom of the first bottle of wine and will stand even less chance than I do on a Monday.

And then they have to put WILTY on at the same time as Only Connect. What would we have done in the days before PVRs?

Yes - I was being generic. Was your VR not personal?
But i never heard of them ever being called "PVR"s in the 1980s. |

That was bizarre - the one with the motorbikes and the 'cups' - they knew which were the bikes but for some reason couldn't deduce from that that the other four must have all been cups!

K Though that reminds me, the question where they removed the state abbreviations from the word was a real cracker. |

Didn't spot that -- if that's the case, I'm surprised that wasn't corrected in the studio.

To what end? It would detract from the viewing figures if ratings were an issue and it's not like BBC has to justify iPlayer.

The BBC loooove iPlayer, they push it as much as they can, they'll even say a programme is available to watch on iPlayer but omit to mention that the repeat is on BBC2 in 2 days time. I think it gives them additional accurate statistics about popularity and scheduling that they don't get with BARB.

It was only a brief post-resolution slip. It didn't affect the game in any way.

Doesn't iPlayer get far more viewings than the other equivalent services? So why do they need to "boost" numbers?
I don't think iPlayer has the most viewers, in 2014 only 25% watched programme recordings or catchup services - unless things have massively changed recently. |

Maybe codeblue has been put off by the people doubting her, but I wonder how many 5 pointers she got yesterday? I got two really easy ones, You're Sixteen leading to Nineteen and 29/02/1700 leading to 29/02/2100. There was also another one I got 3 for which maybe could have guessed 5 but would have been a risk, but can't remember what it was now!
