The Chase

[emmie]

surely this is wrong, question to contestant, what car was Issigonis famous
for, she answered Mini, as i did....
Bradley said wrong, it was Morris Minor, who is right?

[emmie]

when there is money at stake they should get it right... however it's a good show...

[Zeuhl]

agreed

that is poor question setting

[mazie]

The question was what car did Issigonis design in 1957... too early for the mini em

[Jonathan-Joe]

No, the answer was INcorrect. The question included the year of design, 1948, I think. You can check the exact wording by watching ITV + 1.

[mazie]

The Zoo man cracked me up tonight

[Baldric]

I just went into the lounge and asked my OH, her immediate reply was the Morris Minor!
and NO,she doesn't watch the programme.

[Jonathan-Joe]

Just to clarify, I meant that the answer given by the contestant was incorrect.

[Zeuhl]

/The question included the year of design, 1948, I think/

That's different; if 1948 the Minor, if 1957 the Mini

[KJN]

The actual question was " what car designed by Alex Issigonis was launched in 1948"

[Stephen_G]

Just watching it now. The question is...

"What car, designed by Alec Issigonis, was launched in 1948?"

[mazie]

I thought he said 1957, so apologies

[Zeuhl]

I learned to drive in a Morris Minor half-timbered.

Very nice

[GW47]

He said what car was Issigonis famous for in 1948, so the answer was morris minor as the mini appeared in the 1960's

[emmie]

perhaps i missed that bit, about what year...
