INTERESTING MOMENTS
When we asked for an Italian city, one team went with Mulan. Which was wrong, and is also a Disney film rather than an Italian city.
We asked a bonus question about Don Bradman’s most common test match score, and one player who hadn’t listened to the question ran up to us with 99.4 written down. First of all, that wasn’t his average. Second, we didn’t want his average, but the score he scored most frequently. It took a few minutes for one of his teammates to explain that to him.
Another team correctly identified that Guantanamera was a song from Cuba, but guessed that it was sung in Swedish rather than Spanish. (Or at least wrote down Swedish rather than Spanish.)
We asked for an actress who played a variety of films roles including Queen Elizabeth I, Katherine Hepburn, and Galadriel… and one team went with Queen Elizabeth I. Yes, they guessed that a Queen who died over 300 years before Katherine Hepburn was born, played Katherine Hepburn (and also herself) in film. Rather than, say, Cate Blanchett.
And one British couple on holiday liked our Monday show so much, that they came back to two more shows, finally winning on their third attempt on Thursday courtesy of some help from their family.
They REALLY got into our trivia.
See you next week.
