I am convinced that they deliberately select weak contestants when the loathsome Mark Labbett is the Chaser to maintain his so called reputation
The times when he faces a good team, he loses
Bit harsh - Mark's an incredibly knowledgeable person and formidable Chaser, (while not the best, that would be Anne), hence why they've nabbed him for both the American and Australian versions of the show. It's not like he hasn't gone some way to earn his reputation.

Fife is on the east code, East Kilbride is near Glasgow and East Stirling are based in Stenhousemuir, so has to be EK.

Suppose it's obvious to me as I'm Scottish, follow football and know my country's geography

How can anyone go through their life and never see a Blackadder episode?

Can't see Andy getting much in to double figures, I'd guess a max of 13.

3 more pushbacks and he probably would have won. Unlucky.

I didn't know the 1973 date but when Mark got it wrong with 1st April I thought the only obvious other answer had to 1st January.

Andy did ok but was never going to win. That's another win for Mark which improves his stats quoted above, which weren't looking too great.

I cannot stand him
When he loses he is like a spoilt child, and can be so rude to contestants
Reminds me of a playground bully
The other chasers play to win but are polite and considerate to players

The average target is very interesting and unsurprising.

Seems to be only the very best teams who hit 20+ nowadays, most times it's 15-20, which makes the Chasers favourites.

Was it ever very different? To be honest I can't remember what they used to average in the earlier series but I do remember low scores as well as high ones.

That's not a very good guide to the difficulty because it's not the average that counts but the number of high scores they have to face.

The other thing to remember is that the target they face is partly due to themselves and how well they do in the head to head. I wonder what the statistics are for the head to head?

"That's the advantage of being a solo player. You can play at your own pace." says Mark (or something like that).

And then we see the DISADVANTAGE of being a solo player.

7 chances to push-back, ONE executed. How often do we see a team of 3 or 4 discussing the question, putting their ideas together and between them working out the correct answer.

If he'd had some assistance he may well have won.
