Another below average team scoring combined total of 16 in their cashbuilders.

Easy to predict that Shaun will win but will probably make heavy weather of his Final Chase.

And that's perfectly fair, and roughly all I know as well (I'm 21). But to be completely unaware of his existence is quite extraordinary.
I'm the same and I'm 19.
I'm at my parents atm and they are disgusted with me!
"You've never seen Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid?" squawked mum!

I've heard the name and know he was an actor but nothing more.
Don't think I've seen him in anything. (I'm 35)
If you've made it to 35 without seeing any of Paul Newman's films then you can't watch many movies. Two of his most famous roles are "The Sting" and "Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid", both films co-starring Robert Redford.

Or perhaps his interests correlate to different types of film?

The only old films (pre-1980s) I've watched are mainly musicals and such.

Mickey Mouse was born around the same time as Paul Newman.
I bet you all know him!

Lorraine has the recall and knowledge of an Aldi quiche.

That final pushback from Lorraine clinched them the win.

I've just an inkling that Shaun threw that one on purpose. He seemed to get too many obvious ones wrong.

Ive still never seen a Jenny game yet. Does she ever appear?

Shaun lost again, out of all the Chases I've seen he seems to be one of the weaker Chasers.

Mark or Anne seem to be one of the toughest Chasers to beat.

Finally a Friday loss! Very poor final chase from Shaun.

On the Paul Newman point im younger than the bloke who thought he was too young to know who he was, I cant fathom how he doesnt know who he is. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is a classic. He was also the voice of Hudson Hornet in the 2006 film Cars so even younger people would have heard him in some description

All 5 Chasers were on this week

Monday - Jenny (won)
Tuesday - Mark (won)
Wednesday Anne (lost)
Thursday - Paul (won)
Friday - Shaun (lost)

Shaun needs to work on the speed at which he delivers his answers. Even if he guesses on the odd occasions he's unsure it'd be less penalising having to make up an answer than the time he wastes contemplating.

In which case you should be forced to eat 50 hard boiled eggs.
Redford made his screen debut in Tall Story (1960). It was a minor role. The stars of the film were Anthony Perkins, Jane Fonda (her debut), and Ray Walston. The film was about a college basketball star, played by Perkins, who gets himself into trouble debating as to whether or not he should accept a bribe to throw a basketball game against a team from Russia. After his Broadway success, he was cast in larger feature roles in movies.

In 1962 Robert Redford got his second film role in War Hunt. He was cast alongside screen legend Alec Guinness in the war comedy Situation Hopeless ... But Not Serious, in which he played a soldier who has to spend years of his life hiding behind enemy lines. In Inside Daisy Clover (1965), which won him a Golden Globe for best new star, he played a bisexual movie star who marries starlet Natalie Wood, and rejoined her along with Charles Bronson for Pollack's This Property Is Condemned (1966)—again as her lover, though this time in a film which achieved even greater success. The same year saw his first teaming (on equal footing) with Jane Fonda, in Arthur Penn's The Chase.

Pleased for them , but they were a bit lucky. Bradley would have disallowed "Fighting Temaraire" in the past 'cos the ship was called just "Temaraire". "Fighting" as the first word spoken could have been adjudged incorrect.

I wonder if the prize fund was over £20,000 whether they would have accepted it or not. I sense not!

that was one of the most remarkable quiz answers I have ever seen. I couldn't think of any ships of the period that it might have been, and they pulled that one out. They might have equally said "The Flying Dutchman" or "The Mary Celeste" I reckon.

I just looked it up. It was called the "Temeraire", but renamed "The Fighting Temeraire" because of the part it played in the battle, so I expect he would have taken either answer.

Extraordinary answer.


in addition, it's the subject of an iconic painting, of course.

More recently Paul Newman was the crime boss in "The Road to Perdition" Was that his last film?

He must have seen that, surely?

I bet he's never heard of Clark Gable, Cary Grant or Spencer Tracy either.

Thanks for that. Any news on Paul Newman?

Nope. He was in Empire Falls in 2005, then did a voice role for Cars a year later.

Final film was The Meercats in 2008 as The Narrator.
