I think you mean "fount".

Close ups needed.

Even after going through them, I still reckon that 4th one along on the top row was C-3PO.

Font is correct, although so many people misuse it that fount has almost taken over.
Richard said Adamski and Seal was a pointless answer in the jackpot round when the song was just credited to Adamski.
I also refuse to believe UAE weren't pointless if Colombia and Romania were

I guess they can never show all the pointless answers. There's often a few results that I'm dubious about.

Fount is probably what was originally used but font has become so widely used that it is also acceptable according to this. I always use fount myself,

Going back to the original point, I too was a bit thrown by the wording of the 'categorise' definition. The simple insertion of the word 'to' at the beginning would have removed all ambiguity from the definition - or perhaps they wanted it to be a bit tricky

Thank you. Knew it wasn't just me

It wasn't just you at all. I too thought that the answer was category based on the definition and so did my son. It was only because of the number of letters that we realised it must be categorise.

In your face, "anyonefortennis"
Another vote for a badly worded question. I thought place meant "a place". I did get categorise though despite their efforts to confuse.
The pictures were appalingly small, close-ups were required, and that WAS C-3PO, I don't care about the answer they gave...in fact I can't even remember who that was.

I'm no doubt getting into Fight Club territory but what exactly is this "Prevening all" business? Google brings up basically nothing, bar various typos, but this thread...
Hope Richard mentions Love Over Gold (by Dire Straits) was also the title of the Gold Blend couple tie-in novel (no, really )

No reason why they shouldn't. They'd only know it if they knew it to be honest - don't think you could have guessed it from the lady saying Moon (Or did she say it's either Moon or Moons?
)

'Prevening' was a word used once in the Big Bang Theory. Sheldon Cooper invented it to describe the time between afternoon (12.00-4 or 5pm) and the evening (6pm onwards). A -pre-evening, if you will. I liked it, so use it on here.

Aw - shame on me not knowing that. I love TBBT too!
