um Oct 2021 9:09pm, 11 Oct 2021 5,270 posts	0 um No spoilers, but Surrey won't be winning it for a third time this year. Quite impressed with Birmingham's range of answers
larkim Oct 2021 1:02pm, 12 Oct 2021 15,718 posts	0 larkim Enjoyed OC this week, but the walls were hard. I too got the combine question right so took VC's admonishment personally I see after her vigorous denouncements about her appearance having anything to do with Taskmaster, she had another face accessory on. She is, of course, free to dress herself howsoever she wants. But there's definitely something going on. Which was your five pointer LN? I always think a five pointer must be a guess as you can't connect a single entry to nothing, nor can you predict a sequence from a single answer. But sometimes after watching OC for a while you sort of know what they might link together, e.g. the 0: 1650 which I immediately went to Monarchs on

Rosehip Oct 2021 1:23pm, 12 Oct 2021 22,691 posts	0 Rosehip I got the monarchs one from the first clue as well - not often I can see a pattern without 3 clues
larkim Oct 2021 1:55pm, 12 Oct 2021 15,719 posts	0 larkim Ah yes, LN. Abrahams was the most obvious name from that list, I'd only heard of clue 1 and the final answer 4 (though on the evening I couldn't remember his name so I missed out on a 5 pointer!). I'd assumed there were more people in between HA and Owens but obviously not.
