weird timing this - Matt and I were watching the quiz programme that was on immediately before and I was getting all the answers right that they were getting wrong.  He said it was a shame I didn't do that on eggheads!  I still maintain that their set of questions in the final round was way easier than ours (i.e. I knew all their answers)

We went LAG instead of TAG.  We should have saved Andrew for the final as well (that was the plan) - but we ballsed that up too.

was just saying that to Matt - I'd have fucked up on the same politics question as Andrew, and we'd have had him in the final :(

Still think the researchers were having a bit of a laugh with the Sark answer (and Baines later on)

Andrew, talk me through the shirt

As I said at the time, my shirt was our one victory of the day.

CJ normally wears loud shirts, but because mine was particularly special they made him wear a horrible plain green one instead which he didn't like.

Went to Luton tonight.  Was chatting on phone to 'boshi just before game started and bloke came up to me and went 'ha ha'.  I now know how annoying it must be to be a famous person with a catchphrase!

What like Roy Walker - "It's good, but it's not right."

i still maintain that giving a  question about family marriage to a team containing a relative of the royal family is unfair.

You mean like "Talc. It's good, but it's not right."

It wasn't even good.

You're right, although I only know that after wikipedia-ing talc - I always thought it was a sedimentary calcium carbonate form, but it a metamorphic silicate. Well well well, I learn something new every day.

I'd have got cement, BTW :).

I'd have got ha-ha too, for that matter. But not Asquith. And I'd have got first cousin without any of the Egghead showboating too. Well known fact that, surely?

I just couldn't think of any powders, other than cocaine - and I didn't think it was that.

They asked us to expand on our answers to pad it out- but then when they show it they actually cut out loads of the questions that were asked.  It looks like that question was the first sudden-death one between me and Kevin - but it wasn't.  Cement was sooooo obvious though.

There were several sudden death questions cut due to time. It's a shame as I felt we did better than the show portrays. I think they cut at least ten of mine.  ;whistle;

At least.  But you were going for extended TV time.

yeah i reckon Ed bribed CJ to get all his sudden death questions wrong as well so they'd get loads ;D

I take full responsibility for not sacrificing Claw at the altar of LAGness, and gone TAG

We needed to wrap Andrew in final round cotton wool and throw Claire to the green t-shirted royal family related train driving bookish and grandmotherish wolves

This decision haunts me to this day

true

but Andrew would have got HaHa right, unlike us, and it would have been fun watching you work out the Sark question

Sark and Baines were obvious answers.

Baines and Ronnie Barker were in the final

Sark and Squiffy in the politics round

as I said, I wouldn't have got squiffy, but I don't think my politics knowledge is that bad that putting me forward for it would have been a sure-fire sacrifice.  Very probably though, in fairness :)
