Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Yes they were incredibly mismatched teams! The losers were possibly the worst team I've seen. (Which is not to say I'd have done much better, but I did get stuff on the wall they completely missed.)

I think they had mentally checked out by the wall (possibly earlier) - they were already so far behind. I hope they can do better in their next match, for their own sake :)

Was VC-M joking when she said she didn't believe in evolution? I found that a really odd moment.

The wall is yiu see them or you don't. The captain of the Mercians won it really.

I almost got a 5-pointer on OC! As soon as the UK-France in 1940 came up I was thinking of failed mergers. I probably wouldn't have had the nerve to go for it though :-)

Very chatty and relaxed team captain on the video nasties last night. Oh, to be so relaxed chatting to VCM; I'd be a wreck!

Two decent teams, though the brother / sister dynamic on the Solomons was a little odd / old fashioned at times.

I liked the Video Nasties - although at one point I felt the director should have been in the earpiece to VCM that they ought to eventually get back to OC...

Another week where I felt I didn't do too badly, too. Easier questions, or are they just falling better for me?

That's interesting because I found the captain of the video nasties the single most smug smart arse I have ever seen on the show. I so wanted the other team to win.

I tend to not like family teams in general - perhaps I overlooked his smuggitude because the lady on the right put me in mind of a Bond-esque femme fatale, and so I was immediately on her side.

The worst bit was when he deliberately gave a slightly wrong answer after their wall so he could be corrected and give the right answer immediately without extra thought. Total smart arseness.

Good OC episode last night, two likeable teams and a close outcome. Shame there had to be a losing team.
