Mmm. Ok.

[DTCwordfan]

and your point?

[missprim]

have we got to watch this all the way through?

[Philtaz]

Did you see the team from Sheffield tonight? They were an embarrassment! The Professor on there didn't answer a single question and the Radio 1 head honcho obviously didn't do geography as a subject at any time after primary school.
He couldn't even answer the music questions!

[Prudie]

I watched it, and??

[DTCwordfan]

I watched it too - a slaughter, but so what? JP was a bit touchy tonight, I thought.

Maybe decarabas (welcome back) is trying out the Ed's idea

Without that girl with the Greek type name ( which escapes me ) the other lot wouldn't have been much good either .

[Prudie]

Actually I haven't been impressed with any of the Christmas teams this week.

[shaneystar2]

Me neither ..some of the questions were so easy .I was shouting at the screen :)
Considering that chap was a music presenter and couldn't even recognise the Boo Radleys .

[LoftyLottie]

Do the Boo Radley's make handbags Shaney ;o)

[shaneystar2]

Lol......hahaaa

[Jan1957]

Totally agree. I think I answered more questions than the losing team tonight who didn't even seem to understand half of them.

[shaneystar2]

I think they make the Q's somewhat easier than they do for the students .
They're basically general knowlege Q's Paxo is churning out for this .
The poisons one amused me ..I'm yelling ..castor oil plant ..and he answered .....Rice .Hahaha.

Well it has taken me 29m 14s + to reply to this post. I really enjoyed the program and thank you for posting the link.
Ms. Christodoulou (Warwick) was remarkable and most welcome on any quiz team. Reminiscent of Ms. Trimble.
Great contest. What is the problem?

[shaneystar2]

Ah yes ...Ms. Christodoulou..very intelligent lady but as I said ,without her ,the other members of the team would have been lost .She answered most of the questions .
She was on the winning team for Warwick in 2007 .

[factor-fiction]

Sorry, haven't seen it yet- I was just trying to get that spammer off the latest posts list

[methyl]

Wow, I didn't know that Daisy Christodoulou was already a legend.

[missprim]

Amazing. Someone comes on here and doesn't ask a question and 18 people, myself included, reply !!!!

In the ideal make-up of a quiz team you are covered in as many subjects as possible. If a disproportionate number of questions can be answered by one person then you have had good fortune. It's all part of having a good quiz team.
I'd be very happy to have any member of the Warwick team on my side. That night Daisy Christodoulou was the star.
