[@mercuryvapoury]

Everything about this show is just so warm, from the analogue nature of the board to the way that Bob says "You dare!" when the lad almost picked the J. Interestingly, this did happen in one episode, there was a neutral square, but the contestants filled up the entire board as they were the first, and last ones to ever do this.

It was to test whether the old adage "two heads are better than one" was true.

Why was it always two versus one? Never got that. I was like 12 when this was broadcast…

[@johnmanning5568]

Not often a question is incorrect. The question was “what did Neil Armstrong say was a small step for Man….” and they interrupted with the answer ‘step’. The question should have said “what did Neil Armstrong say was a small step for a man…”. If he had really said “for Man” then it wouldn’t make sense! It would have him saying “This is one small step for Man(kind) but one giant leap for Mankind”.

[@zacharycant8932]

18:00 do you think suppressor would have counted

[@omarnour348]

Don't think they'd have had a choice. They'd have had to have accepted it since it's the correct answer ( _not_ 'silencer').

The actual explanation behind the answer to B is complete bollocks. An unmarried man is a Batchelor, but an unmarried woman is a Spinster

I think they were talking about the degree name which is a "Bachelor" like BA / BSc / BCom held by a man or woman
