Is it just me, or have the final round questions got much more difficult recently?
They were certainly tricky today. The Chancellor of the Exchequer one in particular. Previously it would probably be who was Chancellor in 2010 or something equally simple!

I don't think the final round questions have gotten harder, they were pretty easy today, apart from the model one.

Not necessarily. They're only easy if you know them as they say.

What on earth made the contestant referred to above think he could ever stand a cat in hell's chance of doing well in a general knowledge quiz?

He never answered a question correctly in round 2 or the head to head. He only got to drop a counter when Hannah got a question wrong.

How lucky was Hannah then to win the Jackpot in taking two counter questions. She was fortunate her timing was pretty good and the counters landed in the right place.

Extremely lucky to make the final round too when that poor woman got 4 counters in round two, needed 6 counters I think and only managed 1!

He was probably the worst contestant ever on this show and that takes some going.

Good for her.
YOU should have been in the kitchen, cooking dinner and SHE should have been in the armchair, watching TV.
Haven't you entered the 21st century yet?

Who said she was in the kitchen? She could have been out, in the garden, in the loo...your right-on T-shirt must be too tight!

For the avoidance of doubt, she was out back donkey-stoning t'back step. Well, at least that's what I'd told her to do .

Given the position of the counters on the top shelf I don't think I would have taken the trade but Jo did and she won the Jackpot. Well done you.

Nick is really doing people called Nick a disservice. "My geography isn't that bad" - thinks Nepal is in Africa.
