They didn't really work as a team.

It would be better if Stephen was the spokesman, cost them a vital point.

Ian can't hear properly. He thought the movie was called Balls.

Now, for their last question, I heard mWh rather than MWh. Wonder if the adjudicator would have given it ?

I thought Paul had blown it with his bad start there but these two weren't up to much either. You can call me Kal Al. Or is it El Al?

Interesting this, how does one say 'M' as in Mega as opposed to 'm' as in milli (thousandth) but just saying the letter ?

On your Elec bill, it's going to be Mega, which is what the setter intended, but really either is strictly correct I would have thought !

I think they said mega watt(s) rather than mega watt hour

The answer was megawatt hour.

I know that was the answer given, but milliwatt hour also works. It can be relevant to something like, say, a phone battery.

MWh - MegaWatt Hour
MWh - milliwatt Hour

Phone batteries are usually mAh

Two sides of the same coin, really. They may be able to supply a given total of mAh but as they are at a fixed voltage, it is directly proportional to mWh.

I am sure the adjudicator would have had to allow both milli- and Mega-

It was an interesting question, and very subjective.

Any answer would be allied to your own immediate experience and field of knowledge.

I immediately thought milli as for me it is much more commonly encountered.

Maybe if they had said miliwatt hour Bradley would have said "I'll accept". They didn't get a correct answer because they didn't say "hour".

Notice there's some lazy journalism in todays Express. There's a large article about Thursdays show reporting that viewers were stunned by Marks behaviour when storming off the set, and saying it had prompted a storm on Twitter.

Can people not realise that it was clearly a set up designed purely in order to generate publicity for the show

MWh - MegaWatt Hour
MWh - milliwatt Hour
I'm assuming that last is a typo

Yes and no.
The common rating for a battery is in Amp-hour or milliamp-hour as that's the unit of charge of a battery.
The watthour referred to here is the product of the power and the time. Milliwatthour would be a rarely used term.

I think most people would be more familiar with kilowatthour as that's the unit used by electricity suppliers when charging customers.

What was the original question again?????

That depends on what the entire question was.
While EM W H may be construed as meaning milliwatthour, it may not fit the question.
For example, if they're asking what EM W stands for in relation to the output of an electricity generating station.

But the question was 'What unit of electricity is abbreviated to MWH'? So I agree with Iaindb. They did not ask 'What does MW stand for'

Oops.
I misread Iaindb's reply.
I'm agreeing with him.

re MWH
I *think* we all agree that the Team didn't get the answer right so it's all hypothetical
the point was tho' that both answers *could* have been allowed & probably would have

Really, the Q should have been worded more like: "When looking at an electricty bill, what does MWh stand for ?"

On slightly different subject, just spotted yesterday on ITV4 repeats of The Chase, Lisa from Eggheads as a contestant.
Got 9 in C/B but the team failed in Final Chase
