That's fine that Blackwell is the founder of Island Records but he could have added that there was a Blackwell's Island which is now called Roosevelt Island and was home to a notorious women's asylum, amongst other things. It has an island connection at least - but not an island group of course.
The group was called The Commodores not Commodore, so when Richard said Commodore, I thought it would either be a naval rank or the Holden Commodore (Australian car)
@@andylbonczyk1 The Island Group are situated far far North of where you live, i would have thought that one in 100 Brits may have heard of them, i apoligise because it looks like i was wrong!!
The Lofoten islands form part of the Norwegian Sea. The northern 'border' of the North Sea is the Shetlands; the Lofotens are much, much further north (within the Arctic Circle). I imagine only a tiny minority of people in the UK would be aware of their existence.
Not surprising really. Hardly mind blowing lack of knowledge - it's in the language. Ask someone to name groups of islands and they will name the nice sunny ones, the holiday destinations, the tropical paradises - all the ones that the word 'island' conjures up. Plus they only have a 100 seconds to name as many as possible. A group of islands that fall within the Artic Circle? probably the last one of anyones list - unless of course you live in that part of the world. I actually chose Lofoten as my answer - I had a feeling it was from Northern Europe somewhere - a lucky guess maybe.
Not really. They were the better team according to the quiz masters and actually had disadvantage having to go first if they let on they were making one up.
Bad sportsmanship? or clever gameplay? - that's what I saw any way, pretty smart and cunning if you ask me - in any case, the smiles and looks on their faces when saying 'inheritance' - it was clear they were up to something.
calling the Canaries "off the coast of Spain" is certainly a claim one could make
"Between Spain and Africa" is also a very interesting way of putting it :D
I love John and his child like joy.
And enthusiasm
29:31 I got 5 out of 7 answers on the board, including the best one 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
35:08 I got all the answers on the board
China is very obvious as we in Australia use it as well - so it has moved beyond the Bow Bells to international waters.

It might well be irrational but I find something disturbing about John
yeah seems abit of a nonce
I think I see it too.
Yes, he’s irritating! I was actually glad they lost!
@@snarkybuttcrack , how is it bigotry?, as you can see others agreed

Nico Rosberg is Finnish, German drivers?
According to Wikipedia, he was born in Wiesbaden and has the German nationality.
No he's not.
he races under the german flag and doesn't speak finnish
good contestants this episode
13:37 AA goes for McGowan as a poointless answer, and RO replys like he was guessing for a wrong answer, covering up for Alexander.
No he didnt, he said it was the cuckoo in the nest which means it shouldnt be there.
No, Xander said it was the "cuckoo" as in, the imposter
A group of islands within the North Sea that are pointless?.......................Just a mind blowing lack of knowledge there!!
Live in Morocco.... Would disagree sir..

@@phuttyyt I knew both the pointless answers on that board, but I went to school when they made us learn a lot more geography!

Such bad sportsmanship from John and Pete do bluff that they knew the Bourne answer. Forcing the other lads to make one up.
Not really. They were the better team according to the quiz masters and actually had disadvantage having to go first if they let on they were making one up.
They didn't have to make one up! They could have said what they knew and they would have won. They just got too clever for themselves.
The kids were idiots! Why not just go for one of the movies just in case? It wasn’t memorable so much as it was dumb!
So you think they should have told the other team “we have to guess.” That’s just effing stupid. They played it brilliantly.
