All the old people on this show are treated with respect, IMHO. Do they avoid some of the more offensive jibes? Quite possibly.

As for anything else, really? Do they get an extra free step? Do they get extra time? Do the Chasers and Bradley give them help to answer the questions? Do they get easier questions? (Perhaps - but only in the sense that they'll have first hand knowledge of a lot more 20th century history and will have had a lot more time to accumulate knowledge!)

70 isn't really all that old nowadays, either.

Just caught up with yesterday's episode, as exciting a final chase as I've seen. Although he blew it at the end The Beast made it gripping by getting so many answers right to take it to the wire.

So pleased to see Labbett get beaten yesterday.. and for big money
Couldn't happen to a "nicer" fellow

Spot on that.

Predict score of 15 today

Not the brightest bulb in the box.

He struggled with some quite easy questions there.

Hipster alert.

Oh dear, so many easy questions again!

Arrgh he just failed on two easy questions for £53k!

A matron who knows nothing about vitamins!

So slow.

12 right. Poor.

This won't go on youtube as a classic.

And chasing today will be The Beast

Surprised to see Mark again, that's twice in 3 days!

First player going for the high offer!

Good player.

Not the most challenging questions there..

Well played Oliver, only thing now is the other 3 will probably chip away at the total.

Is it uncommon for more than one player to go high and win decent amounts?
I don't remember it happening.

Yes. Usually only one player is brave enough and the others sponge off them. There have been cases of it happening but it's rare.

Why would an MP be taken hostage at the changing of the guard. Bimbo.

So she won't be dipping into Oliver's £30k.
Not much of a loss to the team though if the others are there.

This chap could be an asset but only if he's fast and sensible on the buzzer.

Just watch Tiana take a minus offer!
