INTERESTING MOMENTS

We had online players coming in from Singapore.

One team, having got a question on the lemurs from the film Madagascar in the first half, went on to guess “the lemurs from Madagascar” on three questions in the second half. They just… really liked lemurs.

Assistant District Attorney Jack McCoy from Law & Order was described as “that old white guy from Law & Order, but not the really old white guy”, which is not exactly wrong.

See you next week.
