I am sure the losing contestant today (Mark) was given six points for 'runner' when there was only one 'r' in the selection

Surely between Suzi, the guest in DC, Jeff and the production team, someone should have realised? What happens now or were those 6 points not crucial to the eventual outcome?? |

How can they miss such things at recording stage?

To paraphrase Lady Bracknell, allowing this to happen once may be regarded as a misfortune; twice looks like carelessness!

They were distracted by Rachel's R's.

She stepped in at the last minute when Andrew Castle was delayed getting to the studio. He arrived at some time in the morning, so could complete the day's filming, meaning he managed three episodes.

And how much do they get paid for working just one day a week? I know Jeff Sterling does other things, but what about Rachel and Suzie?

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it, but when did they stop referring to the winners' trophy as the "Richard Whitley Memorial Trophy?"

They record a weeks worth of episodes in one day, with the Monday episode being recorded at about 10.30am, Tuesdays at about 11.45am, then they stop for lunch and then recording doesn't resume until about 2.30pm for the Wednesday episode.

They change them for each recording. For example, Wednesday is students' day.

Do they have the same audience for the entire day?
You can watch it for the whole day if you wanted to, but it's easier to go to a block. When they do record they usually record 3 weeks worth on 3 days, usually Mon-Wed, I think more to suit Jeff's schedule if anything. I went to watch it a fortnight ago and they were recording episodes for W/C September 13th, they've also got the week afterwards recorded and then there's no more filming until September. |

Personally I wish they'd make enough to avoid the breaks at Christmas etc. |
