Are you watching? I can't hear myself think on one of the walls, as one of the contestants prattled incessantly the whole time. The other two in the team couldn't either! It was the same last week. It's infuriating. At least I can turn the sound off. The contestants can't!

Watched it. Agree that they need to turn the sound down a bit on the debate. Did OK on both walls - thought the second was harder. People are different. When I do complex crossword clues I dribble words and then another bit of my brain picks up on bits. May be the same here.

Did anyone spot the mistake in the group of the names of the men who died with Scott on the Antarctic expedition.They had Titus Oates when it should have been Lawrence Oates.Titus Oates being a totally different character ,surprised at the question setters as the standard of question setting usually is pretty good.

I found the second wall more difficult too Jourdain. My favourite TV programme.

[BAKERS DOZEN]

Thought it was only me when I saw Titus Oates. tut tut

[shaneystar2]

His name was Titus .
Captain Lawrence Edward Grace "Titus" Oates .

[jourdain2]

Yes, grumpy, I was arguing with OH about leaders of plots and wasting my brainpower. He was very smug when he got the ill-fated expedition - I was furious!

[jourdain2]

A nickname! That's really not fair!!!!

grumpo
Lawrence Oates was always called Titus Oates on site at the time

[ one of the pilot officers ( a little later) P.O Shaw was always called 'Jane Shaw' after the lady of the night in Henry IV part 2 and apparently always answered to it ]

I'm with Jourdain on this one.They had the proper names of the others ,why not him as well.

I got a few questions right, so I'm very pleased. :) I got "The Beast" in the first round, and errm... I know there were two others but can't remember what they were now.
