I 'm firmly of the opinion that 'thick' people on quiz shows is down to falling education standards in schools, especially when I see contestants in their twenties or early thirties who cannot answer basic questions on maths/history/geography/politics and other general knowledge facts which I had been taught by the age of ten.

What made you think it was a repeat? They recycle some questions, or they are common ones on other quiz shows. Then quite often the contestants look the same and there is nearly always a primary school teacher
![]() If the date appeared at the end, then surely they record these a fair time in advance of showing, don't they? When it's a quiz where there is no connection between episodes (e.g. no advancing jackpot), they won't necessarily show them in order of recording. |

Friday's episode (which I still have in my planner) has a 2015 date on it, and Monday's episode has a 2014 date on it as does Tuesday's, which is one my husband remembers clearly.

I remember him as well.
I think I'll give TP a break for a while, the only fun in watching it is the parade of strange contestants with poor general knowledge. |

I noticed that yesterday's episode was a repeat (2014) although it wasn't billed in listings as such. I wonder if today's will be?

I don't get some people on this show. There was a cluster of counters with a double all hanging off the tipping point ready to drop in drop zone 1 but Maria goes with drop zone 2. Stupid woman.

I'm just wondering how they clear the dropped counters - is it mechanical, or do they stop recording while someone comes round and sorts it out?
Another thing that I'd like to see is how they set up the machine each time before the show starts. These little technical details fascinate me
