I would just have guessed Germany for all the flag questions to move on quickly. They all seemed impossible to get unless you were a geography genius! OTOH I would have made a total idiot of myself as I said Don't Look Back In Anger for the film

OTOH I would have made a total idiot of myself as I said Don't Look Back In Anger for the film We have always (rightly or wrongly) thought that the topics are trailed to the teams in advance, and that each team gets roughly half its specialisms. Maybe they drop that in the final stages so they have to rely on basic knowledge. As a very old person the films were a doddle 😀
