Hang on - Christie isn’t an effectively unique surname though? Bridget Christie? Julie Christie? How has Horne not heard of either of them? Bridget won the Perrier! 🏆 EDIT: have realised now that the category that came up on the graphic was incorrect. He was eliminated on ‘No more surnames that can be first names’, rather than ‘no more effectively unique surnames’.
I'm glad someone else spotted this! And given the so-called VAR 'clarification', it seems Horne doesn't even need to have heard of them for it to be valid. WYTAI, this game was a sham from start to finish. Null and void, I say.
Still shocked that Haiminh has never been played. No more people who you wouldn’t have such a brilliant show without the work they do behind the scenes. 👋
Mr Horne looking like a stained glass window Saint, saying, “I’m wiping my nose on the rim of your frame”. Is possibly the crudest thing ever said while evoking religious imagery and one of the most daring forays in British comedy. Hats off to that.
Yeah, I think he'd have to walk. Not just Roman times, specifically 50BC, and Julius Caesar's in practically every book! (Someone tried to pull the old "fictional characters were never born" lark before, but it was a non-starter)
The ad that played at the start of this video was voiced by Tim Key for Prince's Tuna. Quite surreal but wonderful, just like I'm sure his book Chapters will be. My copy arrived today. 😊
Well if some random person started waving their hands around my head I would probably start to emit a strange sound and thus I can at least admit to sharing certain characteristics with a theremin.
They could also have had quite a discussion if they dug down on Supermans name. For Clark Kent, you could say that it would be a forename as a surname. For Kal-El you could argue that it was double-barreled.
A fiddly question for those Above the Line, particularly Watto: was Adam *born* in the conventional way? He certainly lived and died before 1900, but was he born before that date or was he uniquely created by The Biggest Boi of them all? I.e. he had no mother, for starters… speaking of his family. Just curious if Watto’s category was actually valid? Of course, it’s all academic now. Or should I say plattademic? Great game!
Definitely a reasonable challenge, but not cut and dried - 'born' is in the same category as your friend and mine, 'job, ' as one of those words whose meaning changes game-to-game. You didn't ask, but my opinion is that Adam wasn't born pre-1900 because he's mythical, and in myth, time works differently; I don't think it makes sense to say Zeus was born pre-1900 either. But that's, to be fair, a very tedious challenge.
that's the car that hurts them though, the pit stop is just the pause for refuelling. also if you really didn't want to work, you could argue pit stop and pitstop are not the same spelling
THANK YOU, I was scrolling btl and the fact that no one pointed that out led me to think that that’s the usual fork holding technique for brits above and below the line.

Hats off to Haiminh for the VAR sequence, I didn't mind it one bit.
Tim’s ability to look different yet the same every week is mesmerising
I thought Tim's appearance in the announcements was looking good! Really liked the new hairstyle and the flattering facial hair.
He's a master of disguise, when you stop and think about it.
Excellent, my weekly fix of watching Mark Watson eat his dinner.

“The Deal” it’s awful but lawful, great win for Key
That baby theremin was terrifying yet hilarious each time it appeared on screen
agreed.
Don’t look at your bookshelves, don’t look at your books is my favorite song in the world.
Horne didn’t actually apologise. He said “How sorry am I?” Which implies contrition while still refusing to state it. I’m furious.
Can't believe Watto apologised without a *bop bop* unicorn mug, I don't think he even felt sorry at all.
When you think about it, what's Watto got to apologise for, aside from being dreadful at "Small cup/Big cup & Dainty cup/Thick cup" last week
Adam: The First Sardine is a show I would watch. And it's just Watto doing a weird monologue for an hour.

Pretty sure Penelope Pitstop also has the ultimate glasses, goggles
Maybe they should retire the game numbered 8 in each set in memory of the lost game.
A remarkable finish - one sure to send waves throughout the entire professional game.
Totally forgot that they'd clarified that rule, was certain that Watto had won it there. Brilliant play from Key.

Just been shouting Ben Platt for a couple mins
Yeah there's no way Alex is knowing him but same

If someone does compose that picture they need to try to arrange them to make them look like a unicorn mug.
The Deal seemed a bit unfair to Watson, but a Deal is a Deal so really can't be upset with the outcome.
Shocking really that Horne hasn't heard of Gail Platt or indeed her son, named after the England footballer of course, David.
I think she’s the longest running character in Coronation St. but don’t quote me on that without googling it first and then crediting me
