Greetings friends! So, we're into the festive fortnight now, which meant Christmas UC began tonight, anda most enjoyable contest it was too! Hopefully this time I'll remember to review it in two parts, one this weekend, the other next weekend.
For the other thirds of Quizzy Mondays though, it was business as usual tonight...
Only Connect ended its regular
shows for the year with the last quarter final, between the Data Wizards and
the Discotheques. The latter led 5-2 after the first round, and 6-5 after the
second (I claim two points on the Eddie Murphy and flags questions). Seven each
on the Walls (I claim £100 for getting the Dutch football clubs connection!)
meant it was as you were, 13-12 going into Missing Vowels, which the Data
Wizards fared better on to win 20-14.
Mastermind, meanwhile, was won
comfortably by Sarah Trevarthen with 28 points, 7 ahead of UC alumnus Daniele
Gibney in second with 21; Dev Kumar Patel and Sean Smith also competed,
finishing with 14 and 13 respectively.
And that's it for both of them for the year; Only Connect has its now annual four specials next week, but Mastermind doesn't appear to be having its usual BBC1 celeb series this year. Both resume their regular series alongside UC on the 3rd of January.
So, hopefully, I'll be back on Sunday with a review of the first week of Christmas UC; until then, have a safe and Happy Christmas!
