The Chase

[grumpy01]

Unlucky team robbed of £30,000 when clock stopped again.Even Mrs Grumpy01 shouted the clock stopped.

[smurfchops]

Did it? That’s not fair ….

[bednobs]

its probably fixed grumpy :)

[ToraToraTora]

gawd grumpy, you think the whole world is fixed! PMSL! ever heard ofd Occam's razor?

[Hopkirk]

I have been to a recording of Celebrity Chase.
They have independent verifiers, and it is definitely not fixed. They can't even be lenient to benefit charities.

[grumpy01]

TTT If £30,000 was at stake for you to pay out and it was close,what would you do if you were a TV channel.

[ToraToraTora]

I saw the show and after this i watched it back with a stop watch. Nothing to see here, you are paranoid me old china.

[ToraToraTora]

grumpy: "TTT If £30,000 was at stake for you to pay out and it was close,what would you do if you were a TV channel. " - you are deluded, quiz shows are cheap as chips TV, they get 30k for the first advert! They love to pay out. Gawd you are so paranoid you watch everything and think it's fixed! Don't judge everyone by what you would do. Think about it, why would they fix it? They need winners to reel in the advertisers. Think it through, it's not fixed.

[grumpy01]

I see you read Richard Littlejohn too then TTT.

[ToraToraTora]

where did that leap of illogic come from? What the fork as Richard Littlejohn got to do with this?

[grumpy01]

Nothing to see here is a favourite phrase of his.

[ToraToraTora]

well you should learn it me old china, dunno what's going through your loaf.

[grumpy01]

There are plenty of other quizzes that I would NOT question.E.G.Only Connect,Mastermind,
University Challenge and
Countdown to mention a few.

[ToraToraTora]

do you think they landed on the moon?

[grumpy01]

What Only Connect etc.?

[ToraToraTora]

ok so you have avoided that twice so what should we read into that I wonder??

[THECORBYLOON]

Was your wife using a stopwatch that she "knew" the time had run out?

[grumpy01]

Yes I believe they did.However was Gagarin the first man in space or the first to survive.

[ToraToraTora]

grumpy, please answer my points at 18:53.

[grumpy01]

If I had a TV channel then I would not want many winners as there would not be many applying to come on.If it was close like today then I think it would be very tempting to slow down the clock.Also many winners would diminish the aura of the Chasers.Perhaps you could answer mine.
Do you read Littlejohn?
Do you think Gagarin was the first Man in Space or was he the first to survive?

[THECORBYLOON]

"Do you think Gagarin was the first Man in Space or was he the first to survive?"

That has nothing to do with the question so why not begin another thread if you want to pursue it?
