I love how Anne held her general Weakest link demeanor during the episode. She must've loved filming this.

[@marcusblackwell2372]

Until Nobby pulled out the accent

[@xavierandrews5774]

This got to be one of the funniest episode ever and a rare episode that Anne smiles a lot

[@julie-annedavis6580]

That is so true Anne does not smile a lot but it is rare. 😁

This episode looked like a blast to film! I don’t know any of these characters, but they were fun to watch. Otis and Roly Mo are a couple of my favorites here.

[@itskdog]

Otis is pupeteered by Dave Chapman who also did all the puppets, as well as some acting, on Dick and Dom in da Bungalow, and according to Wikipedia he's worked with Jim Henson and been on more recent Star Wars films as well, even puppeteering Yoda.

Roland was a bit before my time but he was still on some BBC stuff when i was younger, Sooty was still on when i was a kid and Nev was just getting started. J&J and Roly Mo i knew because I curiously watched a little Ceebeebies when I was a teen and i have 2 nephews who were preschool age at the time The Fimbles and The Story Makers were on.

21:55 Poor Otis 🙁

[@jamestulloch-knight7252]

I agree he didn't deserve to be voted off. Even though he had 2 wrong answers but Zippy & George were far worse because they took too long to answer there questions and they didn't bother banking each time they had their questions came to them and you can see they lost far more amount money than Otis. Plus everyone in the world know the song "Do They Know It's Christmas" by Band Aid but thick Zippy didn't. So they should have been voted off in the second round not Otis.
