Can we put it down to brain freeze on Sarah's part. Going first she had no time to think of an answer (all her thinking time taken up by Xander asking her what she does in her spare time AGAIN.) and tough anyway to think of a correct answer when there was only 18 of them (quite a lot of them in Europe though.



Not quite sure why Richard couldn't explain at the time - unless he was thinking "F*** you. If you don't know why that's a wrong answer, I'm not telling you."
She actually took a long time to give the answer during the recording and clearly knew it was stupid. Most of the pause was cut out. Felt sorry for her.

No. I don't think we can. At least she could have given a country .... ANY country..... but no, she said Paris!!

So from Dec 29th the new episodes started up again? (had to skim the thread so I didn't get any of the answers spoiled for me!)

Yes, note also the appreciable ratings boost that immediately resulted (even if the absence of The Chase also played a part).

Her partner looked totally bored throughout and looking round as if she didn't know where she was.
She looked exactly the same on Friday's show, very awkward on screen, just a shame they didn't go any further than round 1 on both shows as I'd have loved to have heard their answers on the music round.

Sorry to ask but when is the 1000 episode being broadcast or has it already been aired?

Not sure what happened but either did not copy properly or edited since looked at it earlier

The contestant Shelagh doesn't look like she wants to be there at all.

That's what I said but my granddaughter thought she had had a stroke and maybe couldn't smile

Richard said Kim Fox would have been an incorrect answer for the EE 30th but I thought she was in at and gave birth to baby Pearl
