I'm surprised Giles managed to get 12 points, one answer normally takes him about 5 minutes what with him recounting a tale.

The general knowledge questions they aim at the celebrities have got MUCH easier in the 20 years since this was recorded!

I think this was around the time it first started but there's only so many brainy celebrities and they have to make it easier for the rest!

the celebreties are not really celebrites these days, more influencers on social media.

That's because the general knowledge of celebrities has gotten much lower in the 20 years this was recorded.

People today who compete in general knowledge professionally (semi-pro to be fair) do learn all these things just for the action. Steven actually knows all this stuff just because he's incredibly clever, knowledgeable and believe it's important.

No, Stephen knows this because he has been a member of the Sherlock Holmes society of London since he was a teenager. It's a hobby of his.

If you believe the god of the bible is 'perfect' you obviously haven't read the book, or read it whilst wearing rose-tinted spectacles, or have had it 'interpreted' for you by some self-proclaimed 'spokesman for god' religious charlatan. The god of the bible is the most despicable character in all of literature!
