"The naval conflict the Battle of Jutland took place during which twentieth century conflict?"
"Pass." Fair enough he might not have heard of it but you might as well guess the First or the Second World War. (It's the First.) This is Tipping Point, not Mastermind. It's not going to be the Korean War, or the Russo - Japanese War of 1905, is it? People are often very quick to pass on quiz shows on eminently guessable questions. *before wiki became everyone's friend" |

Yes, I know where the Battle of Jutland was fought. It was off the coast of Denmark, and I knew that long before Wikipedia was invented. But you don't need to know where it was fought to be able to make a reasonable guess at which war it was fought in.
The British Navy ruled the world for 200 years + Jutland may have been off the coast of Jamaica, or Rhode Island or Gibraltar. I'll leave you to work out the years. |

I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make. The question asked on the programme was "in which 20th century conflict was the Battle of Jutland fought?" It wasn't asking where Jutland is. I was making the point that if it's the 20th century, by far the most likely answers to the question will be either the First or the Second World War. As I said, you don't have to know where it is to be able to make a reasonable guess at which war it was fought in.
There was a similar one a week or so ago where they asked something like Which political party was Grant Schapps in the Shadow Cabinet for and the lady's response was "I don't even know where to begin to guess, so pass" and I yelled "Just say the name of any political party, that's how you guess." |

The prize is not enough the jump to 10k is not worth the risk, no one ever gambles they should make it 20k.
What do you think? |

Well done Rosemary for winning the £10K jackpot today, despite having many riders throughout the show.

Some of these 3 point questions are really very easy. Easier than they need to be.
They just had a question: "In which decade did the Berlin wall fall?" The choices were the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Given that this is supposed to be the "harder" category of question, and the wall fell in 1989, the choices should surely have been the 70s, 80s or 90s, to make it a bit harder. You'd have to be almost completely clueless about post war European history to think that the Berlin wall fell in the 1960s. It didn't matter as she knew it was 1989 anyway. She won the £10K today and deserved it, I think she got every question right in the jackpot round. Some of them guess their way to victory but she actually knew the answers. if you get every question right in the jackpot round for three points that's eighteen counters into the machine. If you don't get it out with that many you can consider yourself a bit unlucky (or your timing's useless. ).

That guy in his 30sec questions round answered (correctly) Napoleon Bonaparte but in a very odd way to the question "which leader gave his name to the Napoleonic Wars."
I think they had him re-do it after the fact. Perhaps he had originally answered "Bonaparte" and Ben had wrongly said it was wrong? |

I've no sympathy about the riders, all she had to do was drop the counter at the right time.

I stupidly pressed the wrong button on my remote and missed the last 15 minutes. I take it the team won but how much and did the last guy get through as well?
Sorry I meant to post this on the chase thread! I thought tonight's tipping point was a good one, quite close between Abby and Rosemary but Rosemary was the more knowledgable player and deserved her win. |

Who's idea was it to invite Bobby George on to a quiz show in aid of charity?
Prior to the present Queen, who was the last Queen to rule Great Britain. Bobby's answer:- Elizabeth???? Needless to say he didn't survive the first round. Mark Foster in the second round. The Sunday Times book the "Churchill Factor" was about which Prime Minister. His answer:- Margaret Thatcher.

Mark Foster didn't know or couldn't guess Bohemian Rhapsody?
Where the hell has he been for the last four decades? |

What a sad bunch these so called celebrities are proving to be. There's little general knowledge among the four of them.
Maybe they should have had "celebrities" from a different background other than sport as it's for charity. It all depends on Tanni Grey Thompson in the final round now |
