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!

I got shoe gaze! So proud of my music taste right now :-)

Amol Rajan is a little bit of a mumbler and yes, he does look too short for the set ;-) But I thought he did OK and hopefully he'll settle into the role.

I felt that the OC questions were a little above average difficulty for a first round game, or maybe I'm getting worse.

Agree with Rajan mumbling, found it a bit difficult to hear the questions on occasions. Thought the Manchester captain was a bit of a dick, sad that he got the winner.

I think they've given Amol one of those chairs that slowly sink ...
And pen fiddling ...
And not so much mumbling, but talking quicker as it got nearer the end.

But I guess he has to make it his own and Paxman is a tough act to follow.

And worse, what's with the score fonts?

I found a lot of the first two rounds pretty tough going, and even when answers were revealed wasn't much the wiser. Aced the missing vowels round though.

Agreed, first two round were hard. And the first wall was too, I got the first two connections OK but the final two eluded me.

Very much enjoyed her introduction though.

I’m not sure how I feel about screen-based questions on UC. Smacks of innovation.

Screen based?
Maybe it's just a rotadex thing with cards and they had to have the housing to hide it?
