Greetings friends! So, we're into the final fortnight of the year, which means its time for Christmas UC! Shorter series than usual of course due to the now well-established controversy over one of next week's games. Tonight's first episode was a pretty good first start to the series; I'll be covering it and the rest of the week's games at the weekend.
For the rest of the Quizzy Mondays line-up, though, it was business as usual tonight...
Only Connect’s final regular show
of the year saw the Also Rans and the Video Nasties meet in the penultimate QF.
The former led 3-2 after the first round, and 10-7 after the second. A better
wall for the Nasties meant it was now 17-all going into Missing Vowels, but the
Also Rans just about snuck back ahead in a very close round to win the show
23-22!
Mastermind ended in yet another tie-breaker,
with Thomas Roebuck and Helen Lippell (OC alumnus) both finishing with 21
points, with Jonathan Phillipson Brown just behind on 20 and Sian Bladon
completing the line-up with 15. Helen won the tie-break questions 4-1 to go
through.
And that's it for the regular series of them this year; both resume alongside regular UC on New Year's Day. OC will be continuing daily for the next fortnight (except Christmas Day itself), with new specials tomorrow (the 19th), Wednesday (the 20th), Boxing Day and next Thursday (the 28th). Mastermind, of course, has its usual celebrity specials scattered across the holiday season over on BBC1.
I'll be back on Christmas Eve, hopefully, with a review of the first week of Xmas UC. See you then I guess.
