When I did this last year, I did it backwards. Not realizing that the sheet went into the room, I folded it inside out. 🤦♂️ Fortunately, the puzzle still works that way!
I think the translation from German was done by people who don't really know what works in British English (as it was for the UK market). So, programme is indeed the British spelling and comes from the Greek word programma (that's where the extra -me comes from) , however when referring to a computer 'programme' the spelling is usually 'program' (AFAIK). There were other inconsistencies I noticed. It was 'torch' instead of 'flashlight' (correct) but 'elevator' instead of 'lift' (incorrect). Also, there was something about 'being on the ball' today, which is also an American only expression I think. But hey, it works, so we get what they're trying to say haha
Calling 999 (as you may know) is the UK equivalent of calling 911 in the US... I don't know if this is deliberate but maybe it's a clue that an emergency has occurred...
If Dave wanted to do that "bad accent" properly, he should have said root instead of rowt...half-hearted attempt that didn't sound even vaguely British 😝
Deborah has such a soothing storytelling voice. Reminds me of a librarian I had in elementary school who used to read stories to us.
Deborah has a talent for voice acting! Love watching these every day 😊
When I did that one…. I never realized it fit into the room! That is so cool!

The bad accent was perfect
number 9, number 9, number 9 ...
