There's Nuffin' on the Telly ...

It might've been harsh, DS, but not knowing Boudicca's name..... (It means 'Victory,' that's why Albert commissioned the statue for his Mrs.)
 
I watched when it was on TV, and I felt sorry for all those sleep deprived people being grilled with rapid fire questions! Both teams put up an excellent fight with only a few "D'oh" moments :)
 
I did enjoy it, Patrick. It was a fascinating experience. I'll certainly never forget it.

Poor Linda was feeling the lack of sleep more than Charles and I by the last round. I felt very sorry for her, as she knew the answers to two out of three of the questions she failed to answer correctly in the last round, but at 5am, when under pressure, it's amazing how one's brain clogs and grinds to a halt.

I felt even more sorry for Geoff - the captain of the opposition team - when he got the simple Troy question and drew a blank for similar reason. I doubt his colleagues will ever let him forget that he got that wrong!
