    Tuned in last night for a bit of top notch quizzing and the lovely Victoria of course. But ended up with the image of Kenneth Cope dressed as a nurse in a Carry On film!

        I think Squarewheelbike is trying to indicate that last night's episode had a transsexual person on it. There were a lot of stupid and/or bigotted comments on Twitter about it too. Seems like it's everywhere these days.

          I saw that (the only Connect episode, not the twitter bigotry). She was the daughter in a father-son-daughter team. I couldn't help wondering what a 1990s Jim Davidson would have made of her on the Generation Game.

            What Hofzinser doesn't mention, modestly, is that he's on the show this series.

              Heh, indeed I am. Our first appearance is this coming Monday, in fact.

                        "first appearance"?

                        Spoiler alert.

                          It's alright, there's a repechage thing now where you have to win two games to go through.

                            Oh right. That's OK, then.

                            I look forward to it, although no doubt the only bit I'll have any clue on will be the missing-vowels round, as usual.

                              I hate to tell you, but they add a delay in to the missing vowels round, so that you get extra time to solve it before the contestants buzz in. As a result, everyone thinks they do better at that round than the contestants do.

                                    So Hof, what's your witty team-name tonight, then?

                                      Yes, I'm good at that round too. And the grid, usually.

                                      I'd like to add for no good reason at all that Ms Coren has the coldest hands of any human I've ever met.

                                        We are the Globetrotters (slightly fraudulently, given that I'm not at all well-travelled). This is we:

                                          Of course they do...

                                            Haha! I thought I'd get my excuses in early. Seriously, though, while it doesn't come across on the broadcast, our opponents were lightning fast on the buzzer. We buzzed in just a smidgeon too late several times.

                                              Well done Hof- and you have a new fan in my Ma. "A very well-spoken young man".

                                                Well done Hof, that was a superb wall that your team did, must have been one of the quickest in OC history.

                                                Thought giving them colours instead of shades of red was a bit tough on you guys too. Usually, Victoria is pretty hot on exact answers.

                                                And I won't mention the football question

                                                  She tends to use discretion in the earlier rounds (especially now it's a repechage format), and tightens up considerably towards the semis and the final.
