Cue your tutting and "there goes the neighbourhood"-type posts, it's moving to BBC2 next year:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/lat...t-bbc-two.html How about Chinese characters, with four of them being "ma"? Obviously the contestants would have to choose the correct tone to select the right one. ![]() http://mandarin.about.com/od/pronunciation/a/tones.htm |

Each fillm only has one official release titles, but do have a few "also knows as"s. The titles are:
Die Hard Die Hard 2 Die Hard: With A Vengance Live Free or Die Hard A Good Day to Die Hard As an aside, the Die Hard film was based on a novel called "Nothing Lasts Foerver" which sounds more like a Bond film to me.

I think it was 4.0 internationally and Live Free or Die Hard in the US.

Seems to be a great rapport between the teams and VCM tonight. Pity one of them is out by the end of it.

I didn't realise we had already seen all the teams, it feels like 6 teams but I'm guessing there are 8?
Anyway, good show today. I am not getting any better at it though lol |

I'm certain I've seen that '5's category (Ben Folds...) before on one of the online playable walls.

I must record for posterity that for the first time ever yesterday I got the answer from the first clue; the Chris Chataway - Roger Bannister one.
Yes, I know none of you care, but please humour me. ![]() (It helps if you were around at the time of the events. ).

Never heard of Chattaway, thought Laszlo Tabori might have invented the Biro. ![]() The captain of the other team was a bit clueless though, always managing to buzz in just a fraction too late. |

It was a good wall with the 100m as there were plenty of options.
I think the best team scraped through. |

I guessed it too because Chattaway and Bannister are inextricably linked in that achievement, although I thought it might be the finishing order in the first sub 4 minute race.

I got the Game of Thrones one immediately, 5 points to me, because I'm a huge fan of the show and the books.

I got it on omelette pans, but the team didn't seem to have any idea. Do these people walk around with their eyes and ears shut? They might be good at dredging up the obscure stuff but anything obvious seems to have them completely stumped.
![]() You are aware that there will be stuff which you think is obscure but other people think is obvious ... or is that in itself not blindingly obvious? |
