SIR Tom Jones is not before your time. He's still performing today and is a judge on the Voice in the UK too. He is a Welshman, born within a 30 minute drive of Dame Shirley Bassey, Sir Anthony Hopkins, and Catherine Zeta Jones. I love that this is NOT one of those dreadful multiple choice abominations. ❤
In the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Carlton used to dance to 'It's Not Unusual' and it became so iconic that Tom Jones guest-starred on the show as his guardian angel.
What I took from this (and most such American videos) is that Americans' default assumption is that every invention and famous person is American until otherwise informed. "Wait! That/he/she's British???"
Hey Steve and Lyndsey, thanks so much again for doing the video, it was awesome and very much appreciated. I'd also just like to point out it is in fact 10 bonus points on top of what you scored already lol, hope this helps. I hope your audience enjoy the quiz. Cheers. James
The important thing [especially for drivers] is that you can drive to John O'Groats but you have to walk to get to Dunnet Head, so hardly anyone goes that far. 🙂
Lizard Point and Dunnet Head might be the points that are furthest south and north in Great Britain but Land's End and John o' Groats are further apart. Also, having looked it up on Google Maps, the B855 goes all the way to Dunnet Head.
Lands End and John O'Groats are the two most South West and North East places, and the farthest apart on the UK mainland, but Dunnet Head is slightly further north
When did a young person ever listen to Dire Straits though? Right from day one they were a Dad band. I was a kid when they started, and I don't remember many kids being fans.
I went to see Dire Straits on the Brothers In Arms tour in 1985. And last year I took my 79 year old mum to see Tom Jones on stage as she's been a big fan of his since the 1960s :)
Please could you react to "The Chase" funniest moments? It is a UK show hosted by Bradley Walsh and it honestly has some HILARIOUS moments! I think you guys would love it!
It was and is a wonderful programme, but Ronnie Barker had absolutely nothing to do with writing it. That was Dick Clements and Ian LaFrenais, a very successful comedy writing duo.
@@russellfrancis6294 Have you seen/heard the Alex Harvey version? Takes me back to the 5th form at school discos, all copying Zal's steps and looking like idiots🤣
@@russellfrancis6294 I went and saw Tom at an outside concert 2 years ago, oh my god, he may be now in his eighties, but Christ, he could belt out a tune. Very impressive. I also live not far from Rod Steward in Essex.
It is, in terms of "sticky out bits" of land. (That's a technical term btw...🙄) 😂 They are the two extremes where distance is greatest between them. But the actual answer, that I've never heard of anyway, is the NORTHERN most point, which is what the question asked. John O' Groat's sticks out on the top right, Land's End sticks out on the bottom left, so that other place is more Northerly than John O' Groat's I guess??? A lot of answers I had no clue on! And I'm 100% British! 😳
I know Lindsey loves English and Steve loves Maffs, so you could do a lot worse than watch an episode of 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown. It's a comedy show with a quiz element.
Oh lor... I haven't seen these two react to the kind of language those teams use! If they bleep too much, they'll miss a fair bit of the humour ...can they take Jimmy Carr aaahaaa-ing ?!!
You should definitely check out Porridge. Ronnie Barker was the lead, and his writing and comedy is some of the best sitcom material ever made. Porridge is also very typically British humour, lots of deadpan delivery and wry lines.
Wikipedia: Born Roderick David Stewart 10 January 1945 (age 79) Highgate, London, England His dad is Scottish. In reference to his divorces, Stewart was once quoted as saying, "Instead of getting married again, I'm going to find a woman I don't like and just give her a house." Rod Stewart has eight children with five different mothers.
Well done team. FF Tom Jones is now 84yrs old and still singing. He sang at this years Festival of Remembrance at The Royal Albert Hall, you should check it out. The whole evening is to honour servicemen from Veterens to new recruits, it is very moving.
Sir Rod Stewart is also entering into his 80's and still singing. Although doubts have been raised about his claimed Scottish heritage. He must be able to still perform well as his beautiful much younger wife, Penny Lancaster, Lady Penny Stewart, is still with him and he fathered his youngest child well into his 60's, 67 I believe.
Henry Cooper fought Ali (then known as Cassius Clay) in 1963 and floored him in the fourth round with a left hook known as 'Enry's 'Ammer.' Ali still won but Henry became a national hero.
He won after a little chicanery from Dundee :) In the fight Clay was over 20 Pounds heavier than Cooper that's often forgotten, and if it wasn't for the bell Cooper could have taken out Clay as he was somewhat dazed by the 'ammer.
@@Tommy-he7dxClay’s corner used a hidden razor blade to cut the glove that Clay was wearing after he was having trouble getting back to his feet in time for the next round after Cooper had knocked him down a couple of times, Clay was saved by the bell and then they cut the glove to give him a longer time to recover while the glove wS cut off and a spare one piton and taped in place and checked by a representative of the boxing association and signed to demonstrate that nobody had slipped anything in side the glove to make it heavier (in cartoons they slip a horseshoe in the glove) in reality the authorities have to sign the taped cuffs of both boxers in a contest, and check the signature before the gloves are removed to combat any tampering with the gloves, the gloves are also inspected before they are put on each boxer and after they are removed to check that they are within regulations for the materials that they are made of and how much they weigh.
That was a lot of fun! I started playing along but you got the answers to one or two before I did, so I couldn't score. 'Blankety Blank' was an inspired guess! You did brilliantly! I'm hopeless at anagrams so doing them under pressure is not my forte! That's a great quiz format!
It's a common misconception, even among Brits, that John O'Groats is the northernmost point! It's because journeys from Land's End to John O'Groats are pretty much the longest journey you can make on the mainland, so they are often used for challenges like cycling. Land's End also isn't the southernmost point, which is actually at Lizard Point.
Well done, Steve and Lindsay! You did really well on that quiz. P.S. the question about the northernmost tip of Scotland is a favourite question that often comes up in pub quizzes and catches many folk out who are not familiar with the geography of Scotland and are not paying attention to what the question is actually asking. The comment by XennialTV explains why so many folk get this question wrong - the question is asking what point of land is the furthest north in mainland Scotland, not what is the northernmost settlement in mainland Scotland
That was fun. A bit of news for you. *Sycamore Gap tree* Saplings from the felled Sycamore Gap tree are being given to charities, groups and individuals (49 recipients across the UK)) as "trees of hope", Each sapling represents a foot in height of the tree, The saplings are being cared for by the National Trust's Plant conservation Centre, and will be ready to plant out next winter. 💙🌳
This is great fun! Well done both of you - can highly recommend you watch all three of those sitcoms ❤ especially Porridge, which is my favourite, and you'll love the 70s feel too!
Well done on "Kate Winslet", that was an inspired answer ... mostly I was a fraction ahead of you but that one I was nowhere near. The northernmost point was a bit of a trick question - John O'Groats is the northernmost settlement, but Dunnet Head is an uninhabited promontory that is slightly further north. The first PM to serve under Elizabeth II was also a bit of a trick question - most British people know that Churchill was PM during WW2 and was voted _out_ in 1945, seven years before Elizabeth took the throne - the trick is that he then returned to office in 1951.
I'm old enough to remember that match between Henry Cooper and Ali (I'm sure he was still using his birth name then). It was like the whole country spoke of nothing else the next day - certainly all the kids at my primary school were buzzing with it.
Guy went to the Doc: "Doc, one day Im singing 'The Green Green Grass Of Home', the next, 'Delilah'..What's going on?"..."Ah, you've got Tom Jones Syndrome".."Is it rare?"..."It's not unusual" 😁
Don't worry Steve and Lindsey, I had all the questions right except two and even I thought John o'Groats was the right answer and I've lived in the UK all my life. And the final question like who was going to get that one, lol. You both did great... 🇬🇧
you guys definitely need to see Porridge first, then dads army are you being served would be the last on the list for me personally. another great video
That's not a fence in Downing Street, but a railing. Tom Jones is still performing in his 80's. He is famously Welsh. Audrey Hepburn is actually Dutch but came to Britain after the 2nd WW. John o' Groats is a settlement, Dunnet Head is a headland north of that. Look on your map of Britain, it's at the very top right of the mainland. Rod Stewart is from London, but proud of his Scottish ancestry. Blankety Blank is an old TV Quiz Show. Yes, Charlie Chaplin was also from London, as was Bob Hope. 'Porridge' is a comedy set in a prison, starring Ronnie Barker (the 2 Ronnies) & Kate Beckinsale's dad Richard . You did very well in this quiz.
Did you remember to add your several "Bonus 10 points"? Congratulations, you did really well! By the way, Dunnet Head is marginally further north than John O' Groats, about 11 miles to the East, and about a mile further south.
13:00 neither Land’s End nor John o’Groats are cardinal points of Great Britain, they’ve just managed to capture the public imagination and cashed in on the tourist trade. I’ve been to all five real ones: North = Dunnet Head in Sutherland; East = Point Ness in Lowestoft; South = Lizard Point in Cornwall; West = Ardnamurchan Point in the Scottish Highlands; and Highest = Ben Nevis, also in the Scottish Highlands.
I liked it when you started singing "It's not unusual to be loved by anyone" at 4:27. You could go on the X-Factor. That was a British show before the American version.
I just seen a reaction on another channel and all I could think was how much you and your wife would love the video they're reacting to. "Why these ENGLISH VILLAGES WILL STEAL YOUR HEART" ...the places they show are like fairy tales.
John O' Groats is more 'well-known' than Dunnet Head, due (mainly) to the John O' Groats to Lands End challenge. But as a occupied 'place' J o G IS the most Northerly spot...
Well done, you two, that was a tough quiz. I am amazed you didn't know Rod Stewart was Scottish. My mother was working at the Henry Cooper v Cassius Clay fight and was convinced Cooper won. ❤❤❤
John O'Groats is the northern most settlement. Dunnet Head isnt that far away. Dunnet Bay has excellent surfing ive spent whole days in the water there its good
We didn't note our scores, but we did pretty well. I knew some Joanne didn't know and she knew some I didn't know! I must admit though, some of mine were educated guesses! You two did great. 🙂
Tom jones. Actually Welsh, but same difference lol. He has sang "It's not unusual" and " Delila" He was also in the movie Mars Attacks, he was the start playing at vegas that escaped on the private plane with some showgirls. He is also a judge on rhe UK's version of The Voice. And one of his claim to fame's is, his voice is so powerful he actually breaks microphones. He was doing some sound checks one day and decided to belt out a few lyrics full force and all of a sudden the microphone went all crackly and stopped working properly.
I think you did very well and can accept that some of the old, old items (Henry Cooper knocking down Ali) probably wouldn't even be picked up by a young Brit. It surprised me that you didn't recognize Tom Jones as he has been doing Vegas residencies since 1967 and was there at the same time as Elvis and still does these. One thing that stands out is the number of times you both said "Is he (or they) British?" There are quite a few TH-cam vids around of Americans reacting to British actors playing Americans or British bands and it might be interesting seeing you react to those.
Dire Straits - Mark and David Knopfler were born in Scotland and then moved to NE England, the other two are from Leicester. Fred Perry was a tennis player, he also established the Fred Perry brand of sportswear. If you heard Rod Stewart speak you would know immediately that he is British. He has a very strong London accent.
Frank Bruno. Bruno stated professional Boxing in 1982. His ring record is, 45 contests, with 40 victories, 38 of them were Knockouts. Bruno’s only defeat was against James ‘Bonecrusher’ Smith. Bruno won the WBO Heavyweight Title in 1995 when he beat Oliver McCall.
Dunnet Heat is just further north, than John O' Groats, and is on the east coast, only 27 minutes away. Which is news, to me, as I always thought John O' Groats was further north, as that's what we were always told! :o)
Wow some of these were a bit tricky, the Dunnet head question beat me, Sir Tom Jones well into his 80s now but still touring and a judge on the voice uk. Porridge is a show you should definitely check out as it starred the legendary Ronnie Barker
Well I'm glad it wasn't just us in the dark on that one! 😅 Makes me feel a little better. haha And we'll definitely have to check out Porridge, then if Ronnie Barker was in it.
@reactingtomyroots was quite embarrassed by that one as a truck driver, have visited Scotland few times while working and pride myself on having an ok knowledge of places around Britain lol, yeah porridge was brilliant, also starred sir David Jason in a few episodes who is another one of our tv Legends, should check him out, especially his main tv show the legendary sitcom "Only Fools and Horses"
Fun! Think you should have added the bonus points too... PS Lyndsay you certainly look much younger than Steve! (and apologies if I have spelt your name incorrectly, maybe Steve could put your names in the generic blurb?)

@@reactingtomyroots My pleasure Steve, I'm glad you and your audience liked it, looks like you'll have to do it more often 😁👍
John o Groats is the northern most settlement and is part of the end to end travel challenge but the actual northern most tip is Dunnet Head.
The important thing [especially for drivers] is that you can drive to John O'Groats but you have to walk to get to Dunnet Head, so hardly anyone goes that far. 🙂

i am scottsh and did not know this, though it was john o groats too.
You would love the sitcom 'Porridge' as it stars Ronnie Barker from 'The Two Ronnies'
Not to mention Richard Beckinsale (father of Kate).
One of the greatest sitcoms ever made.
it is not funny at all, barker in a sitcom did not woth however open all hours was perfect for him
Porridge is set in a prison. The action revolves around dealing with life inside and trying to outwit the guards. Very funny.
@@jonathanpringle8238 You are wrong. Objectively and completely.
@@emdiar6588 I am allowed my opinion and I hated the show.
OUCH steve. OUCH. "My dad used to listen to them"
I LISTEN TO DIRE STRAIGHTS DUDE! Stop making me feel old!
When did a young person ever listen to Dire Straits though? Right from day one they were a Dad band. I was a kid when they started, and I don't remember many kids being fans.
The clue also started with one of their songs "Why Worry".

John O'Groats is the northern most settlement. Dunnet Head isnt that far away. Dunnet Bay has excellent surfing ive spent whole days in the water there its good
We didn't note our scores, but we did pretty well. I knew some Joanne didn't know and she knew some I didn't know!
I must admit though, some of mine were educated guesses!
You two did great. 🙂
You two really are great - always make me smile :)
Very well done👏👏it was worth it just to hear Steve belt out 'it's not unusual' by Tom Jones🤣👍
Good fun quiz, thank you guys 😁👍🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸
When you come over to the uk make sure you go into a local pub,and do a pub quiz. So much fun x
Tom jones. Actually Welsh, but same difference lol. He has sang "It's not unusual" and " Delila" He was also in the movie Mars Attacks, he was the start playing at vegas that escaped on the private plane with some showgirls. He is also a judge on rhe UK's version of The Voice. And one of his claim to fame's is, his voice is so powerful he actually breaks microphones. He was doing some sound checks one day and decided to belt out a few lyrics full force and all of a sudden the microphone went all crackly and stopped working properly.
You did great guys! Good quiz too xx
Happy Thanks Giving Day for yesterday guys..😀
Thank you, Roger :)
I think you did very well and can accept that some of the old, old items (Henry Cooper knocking down Ali) probably wouldn't even be picked up by a young Brit. It surprised me that you didn't recognize Tom Jones as he has been doing Vegas residencies since 1967 and was there at the same time as Elvis and still does these.
One thing that stands out is the number of times you both said "Is he (or they) British?" There are quite a few TH-cam vids around of Americans reacting to British actors playing Americans or British bands and it might be interesting seeing you react to those.
Dire Straits - Mark and David Knopfler were born in Scotland and then moved to NE England, the other two are from Leicester. Fred Perry was a tennis player, he also established the Fred Perry brand of sportswear. If you heard Rod Stewart speak you would know immediately that he is British. He has a very strong London accent.
I’m impressed! Well done you two 😊
Tom jones was always known as 'The Voice' and is a judge on 'The Voiice UK'
David O’Hara plays Stephen in Braveheart, brilliant actor
Kate Winslrt was 8+ 10 bonus guys ❤️🏴
Fred Perry also founded a fashion brand, using his name, in the UK. They are most known for their polo shirts. Been around over 70 years
how could you not know that tom jones was british the name jones is welah + his very very strong welsh accent
Tom Jones is still singing and my friend actually saw him a couple of months ago. He's in his early 80's. X
You did great!
Frank Bruno.
Bruno stated professional Boxing in 1982. His ring record is,
45 contests, with 40 victories, 38 of them were Knockouts.
Bruno’s only defeat was against James ‘Bonecrusher’ Smith.
Bruno won the WBO Heavyweight Title in 1995 when he beat Oliver McCall.
Dunnet Heat is just further north, than John O' Groats, and is on the east coast, only 27 minutes away. Which is news, to me, as I always thought John O' Groats was further north, as that's what we were always told! :o)
Wow some of these were a bit tricky, the Dunnet head question beat me, Sir Tom Jones well into his 80s now but still touring and a judge on the voice uk. Porridge is a show you should definitely check out as it starred the legendary Ronnie Barker
Well I'm glad it wasn't just us in the dark on that one! 😅 Makes me feel a little better. haha And we'll definitely have to check out Porridge, then if Ronnie Barker was in it.
@reactingtomyroots was quite embarrassed by that one as a truck driver, have visited Scotland few times while working and pride myself on having an ok knowledge of places around Britain lol, yeah porridge was brilliant, also starred sir David Jason in a few episodes who is another one of our tv Legends, should check him out, especially his main tv show the legendary sitcom "Only Fools and Horses"
You did brilliantly 😊😊
Hi Guys , I can tell you love quizzes , I you ever come over 🤞 to the uk / Ireland you'll have to go to a pub quiz night . You did really well 😊
Fun! Think you should have added the bonus points too...
PS Lyndsay you certainly look much younger than Steve! (and apologies if I have spelt your name incorrectly, maybe Steve could put your names in the generic blurb?)
You two a great! Well done!
You did better than most brits would have! 😂
Audrey Hepburn was from Belgium and as a 15-year-old during the war, she ran messages for the underground.
You do realise that when you pause and discuss you are adding time - no point having a timer 😂😂
They're answering _before_ they pause, perfectly fine.
You’d love our British pub quizzes and you’d love ‘The Chase’ because the Chasers were all champion pub quizzers with a vast knowledge of trivia.
I think the video "bands you didn’t know where british" is a must soon 😅
