Has the SNP even had four leaders

 

[CaptainWacky]

They've been around since 1934, so yeah.

XCTNG MSSNG VWLS RND

 

[CaptainWacky]

"Methods of time travel" for five points.

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

Political parties and things that are true of Barry O, both on 3

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

Pierre & Marie Curie on 5!!!

 

[CaptainWacky]

I couldn't remember the man Currie's name.

I was really conflicted here because on the one hand I wanted The Wrestlers to win to prove that wrestling fans aren't dumb and on the other hand I fell in love with Elysia Warner within thirty seconds of first seeing her. In the end I was glad her team won (and her missing vowels performance was amazing) and at least The Wrestlers played well.

 

[CaptainWacky]

"The Animals of Farthing Wood?"

 

[CaptainWacky]

Neither team got the easy "The Young Ones" question so I wanted them both to lose.

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

I don't know what the young ones even are!

Got the forces on three, ofc, and the scrabble question on three, but the most frustrating part of the quiz was that the song is not called "I'm Coming Up" it's called "Get the Party Started"

 

[CaptainWacky]

British people of a certain age should know The Young Ones.

 

[CaptainWacky]

No new episode this week btw.

 

[CaptainWacky]

The Wrestlers got jobbed.

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

The missing episode really threw me off

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

Strong missing vowels

 

[CaptainWacky]

I turned over early and got the tie-break question on University Challenge right (it was "Tolkien") before either team so that was good.

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

i got sputnik and presidential codenames on three, had no idea the leona lewis version of "Run" existed, and did not spot the mistake but yelled out "of course he was a Liberal!" when it was revealed.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I got Sputnik...that's all I remember.

I liked when she kept referring to the character as "a Doctor Who".
