This show is so great...I recommend it to anyone right now because it’s lighthearted trivia that provides consistency in these turbulent times

[@dab7271]

When this episode first aired was shortly after 9/11 in the United States, so it was sort of the same kind of time, where everyone was afraid. It was comic relief.

[@retrofun1479]

Small blooper at 33:02 when the announcer tells us Lee is the weakest link, you can see Carol's arm at the next podium, but she was voted off the round before lol.

[@razaalee9477]

They showed Lee's recording from the previous rounds in that round.

[@hakc97again]

@@jackblack570 "Anne was a Grade A cow. It was probably an act, but she didn't let it slip, even when the cameras weren't rolling. Half the contestants were lovely and half had a personality bypass. The old guy we all voted off first? Nothing to do with his bad playing... it was him. He was horrible. The night before at the hotel he got very drunk, was very standoffish, got into a row with the hotel staff the day of the filming and made us all late. The woman with the glasses from the bank? Sour as could be. It was fun until we got to the last few rounds and I realised that I might actually be in line to win it, and it suddenly became serious. £3000 is a lot of money, and even more 11 years ago to someone who'd just left home! No one's given me a hard time over being on it, but the day itself put me into a bit of a low. I'm not scared of being in front of cameras at all... it was the mood of the event I didn't enjoy."

[@spoyledbratt]

The winner was consistent and deserving. I like Carol but it was her time after that round.

[@robinchrisb_]

Perfect round 1! To be fair, Ian may have messed up when he said iguana instead of chameleon, but he did bank the money beforehand so the team didn't lose any money at all.

In the fourth round, Anne loudly asked Carol who she voted for in rounds 1, 2 and 3. And how Lee, standing next to her voted identically. She failed to mention that Phillip and Sue had done the exact same thing.

[@firthbythesea]

@@LoLo-ue5xe Rachel was better than me throughout the show, but I knew every one of the answers in the head to head! It was a strange old thing. The old man voted off at the start was pretty unpleasant and none of us had got on with him, but everyone else seemed nice. It was odd hearing a couple slagging me off! The American woman, the air hostess, the guy that came second and the middle-aged guy who got voted off were all very nice people.

[@justmelauren9528]

Why did I feel so bad for Ian :(

[@Mac2point1]

The question on Hinduism around the 22.47 mark...I thought she said V as well, along with the contestant, hence the answer Visnhu, and not Brahma, as was the actual answer. In fact if you replay it definitely sounds like V, not B as it was supposed to be.

[@b.b.4010]

I heard B

[@LoLo-ue5xe]

I heard V and answered vishnu as well. I was even more confused than the contestant

@@levimumsnat1310 It really wasn't fun in the end. The hotel we were put up in the night before was cheap. The old boy at the start we all voted off was really horrible (we would have voted for him to go anyway because of how he'd been at the hotel), we had an incredibly early start, Anne Robinson was no fun at all - she absolutely blanked us when the cameras weren't on - and, although it was all fun to start with, when it got close to actually being able to win the money it got serious.
