The TV Quiz Show Thread

There was another young girl on the Chase last week. Brad asked her who launched the first holiday package business in 1841. Her answer was Richard Branson.

Former sponsor of ours Thomas Cook, wasn't it?
 
on behalf of the under-performers, the difference an audience and fukc-off huge tv cameras pointing at your face is the crux of the matter. A class-mate, top in every subject, went on Junior Criss Cross Quiz. First question, what do the letters GMT stand for (greenwich mean time ) ? Met with a blank look, ran out of time.
Second question, on a globe, what do we call the lines that connect the north pole to the south pole? (longitude) Another blank look, ran out of time. Third question, preceded by " you really need this", "Which bird has a kick like a mule " ? The kid looked scared, the compere said, "have a guess, or you could be out". Sadly he guessed wrong, "A thrush ?" Afterwards he could not even remember any part of the ordeal apart from the cameras. The lad went on to teach physics at a top university, so, not thick by any means, just not prepared for the glare of the spot-light.

No bird kicks like a mule as that would be a mule and therefore not a bird.
 
My mate won £10,000 on the Chase. There was luckily some pretty clever guy who got them through the final chase on there to win and contributed most of the money.

He said that the nerves really do make it a lot lot harder. He had a question about a zombie film that he’d seen about a million times and he got the film completely mixed up with something else. He knew the answer, knew every character’s name and knew the Director but just momentarily lost his head. He said if you’d have asked him in his sleep he’d have got it normally.
