I was pleased to get the Freud question after 2, so well done for getting it after 1. I did call "Shard" after 1 clue though.<br /><br />The more episdoes I see the more I think that the first round saw the best two teams so far - again hard lines on the Joinees - do we need a "Best Losers" like Mastermind and UC?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17005504982536146457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-35154691312743828822012-09-11T18:29:16.130-07:002012-09-11T18:29:16.130-07:00I'm not sure why people found these walls quit...I'm not sure why people found these walls quite so hard. The way into the Violinists' wall was the payment-related things, and it was unfortunate that Payback and Ransom didn't trigger off Mel Gibson thoughts in their head to reduce the possibilities. Our make-up ladies worked this out when they were sat next to me during recording, so I guess it's just a matter of what you know.<br /><br />The Footballers' wall was mostly solved, but I think you have to spend time working out that (e.g.) Full back and Ruckman have to be positions, and Stock and Sight have to be gun-related.<br /><br />One correction - the Violinists' did actually get their taxi question right, for 1pt.davidbodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06069767281654752637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-83503969985482555592012-09-11T15:05:19.103-07:002012-09-11T15:05:19.103-07:00In addition to Mastermind and Brain of Britain, Mi...In addition to Mastermind and Brain of Britain, Michael also recently became one of the few people to beat all 5 Eggheads on their own. Jamie also has some TV experience including winning the prize money on Pointless. So a pretty experienced set of quizzers all round.Sabrestarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07403501225042560161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-7645166698544150502012-09-11T15:00:33.006-07:002012-09-11T15:00:33.006-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sabrestarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07403501225042560161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-85709135220880675352012-09-11T15:00:22.941-07:002012-09-11T15:00:22.941-07:00Yes, a very difficult pair of walls - so a good jo...Yes, a very difficult pair of walls - so a good job by the programme makers in pairing them up!Andrew B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12054400570279868608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-64892961255485990982012-09-11T13:41:37.139-07:002012-09-11T13:41:37.139-07:00I thought the Connecting Walls were much harder th...I thought the Connecting Walls were much harder that usual this week.
