    How come this isnt even on the ITV schedule on their website and Ive seen no ads for it or anything on UTV or ITV?

    I've just watched my recording of Van der Valk that was on Sunday 3rd May and there was a promo for this series on during one of the ad breaks.

    He absolutely had the look and sound of a man who might go all the way!

    This could be the big tv moment they were hinting at...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,190 ✭✭✭stargazer 68


    This guy is excellent though. Hope he doesn't screw it up


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,393 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    Oooooooohhhhh...... :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,393 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    Were there any spoilers as to what happened?? Or did they manage to keep it under wraps?

    (I don't want the spoiler if there is one!)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,182 ✭✭✭✭Thargor


    Id say Le Mans, Le Mans is ancient. I wouldn't chance it though.

    I'd have guessed le mans as well.....

    He's some cool customer!

    Ah fook!!!!

    Delighted for him.

    Fantastic player to be honest.. tough luck with that final question but you'd need to be sure.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,182 ✭✭✭✭Thargor


    I want to know if Jeremy knew it, he didnt say...

    Bikes, he knows nothing about them. I'd doubt he knew this

    He's good, very good, good luck to him and his family. The questions weren't savagely hard. The question last night about which of the four major mens tennis tournaments had the most different winners since 2000, was a brutal question? Jeremy a tennis fan didn't know and I'd say C J of the Eggeheads, another big tennis fan would have been in trouble too.
    The Beethoven question and the TT questions I believe I've heard before in quizzes. Now, I wouldn't have risked my memory of those, on any serious money.
    Best of luck to him.

    Yeah that was a ridiculous question, only total obsessives who memorize sport almanacs for fun would have known it, crazy for 64k.

    Cant be French and doubt Wimbledon as they're quite specialised surfaces. So Australian final answer (though could easily be US!).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,833 ✭✭✭✭Water John


    how could ask a, 'phone a friend' and get an answer in 30 seconds?
    You do also, besides a good quiz knowledge need luck. The poor fellow using all his four lifelines on one question.

    Yeah US or Australian as you said.
    I'd imagine its the US Open ,there have been a good few winners but I would need a good bit of time to tot there and Melbourne up.

    Well, I'd have pissed away a load of money on that million Q, I was deathly confident it was Indy. Knew Monaco and Le Mans started after the war (in my head Monaco was 30's and Le Mans was 40's); but in my mind I thought the TT was towards the later end of the 10's or into the early 20's, thus leaving Indy in 1911.

    Wow. Tonight's episode left me lost for words. What an amazing contestant to have on the show.

    And Jeremy's little joke about the electric vehicles in the end nearly left me in stitches. It was brilliantly timed.

    That Beethoven question was on WWTBAM? before. I knew it because I watched it the other day!

    Very strange that they would rehash that question especially as Ingram was such a famous winner.
    I was wondering how I knew the answer .
    The options this time were much easier too .

    Poor returns tonight, entertaining though.

    I noticed that the questions a lot more difficult. It's a bit like they have used up most of the budget. There was a few tricky questions.

    Ones like the rap artist with most number 1s are going to be a guess for almost anybody including fans of rap music. Have noticed a few questions of similar type in this series.

    Oooh. Wow. She was going to do so well there. Shame that she went too soon.

    I hope she enjoys her money.

    Very brave crop of contestants this time round, seems like theres more failed punts being taken this time than all the previous Clarkson seasons put together.
