It's random as far as I can tell. I was on in the second round. Thinking to myself, "This is great". Then (as I've done so often) out on a stupid question. the one about the first female Red Arrow. D'uh. Astronaut. What was I thinking?

xp90 · 10-07-2009 9:11pm

So roughly a 0.00132 chance then? Balls. But when I started the game it said something like loading Ireland channel, but I assume we're sharing with the uk? Have u got commentry?

miju · 10-07-2009 9:12pm

i've got no commentary anyways

amacachi · 10-07-2009 9:14pm

I'm almost sure it goes by how ya do in the crowd, thought it said so on the XBox website.

Tough question about the chinese city, I'm great at guessing though. :pac:

xp90 · 10-07-2009 9:16pm

me neither, heard a few lines about an hour ago, that was all, i think the presenter took a phone call

seanos · 10-07-2009 9:19pm

aw, it ended early?

xp90 · 10-07-2009 9:21pm

Said it was over.

I might cry

amacachi · 10-07-2009 9:21pm

Suppose there's worse ways to spend an evening, beats suicide like.

rizzla · 10-07-2009 9:22pm

Alot of fun. There's alot of extended play things in the primetime channel now. Says on the xbox website doing well in them will increase the odds of getting into the mob or being the 1 during the live shows.

xp90 · 10-07-2009 9:23pm

Explain? whens the next one? live i mean...

rizzla · 10-07-2009 9:24pm

Tomorrow at the same time, no prizes, next week is prizes though.

Aldebaran · 10-07-2009 9:25pm

Enjoyed that, I'll be playing again anyway.

Basq · 10-07-2009 9:33pm

Good fun.. doubt anyone here was in the mob - most probably just assumed they were when they could play along. There's a difference between "the mob" (100 people) and "the crowd" (everyone else).

Did anyone else choose "Jeremy Beetle" instead of Jeremy Beadle? Goddamn speed answer..!

Got 108,000 of a lifetime score in the end.. was very good fun but was playing with a few thickos (3 of them didn't know Citizen Kane's last word.. fair enough but they also thought Ulrika Johnson was in 1971's 'Get Carter' alongside Michael Caine!

). Probably got 2 - 3 wrong in the whole game.. was mostly very easy to be honest.

I thought when that the 'Xbox Live Arcade Game' with varying points appeared at the end of each round, I was winning something. Balls to it!

PS - thanks for the invite miju but was mid-game and didn't know what'd happen if I accepted your invite.

DingDong · 10-07-2009 9:34pm

Good laugh will play next time its on. I couldn't heard any live commentary though anyone else have this problem.
Jeremy Beetle got me too

Got live commentary at the start of the time and once mid-way through reading brief e-mails.

It appeared with the red graphic 'On-Air' in the bottom left when the commentary was on.

Gunmonkey · 10-07-2009 9:39pm

Didnt hear any commentary, could be a network (strict, open etc etc ) setting thing.

Curse you "beetle", got me too

There seems to be 4 games lined up for Monday - Thursday next week, just mess games and no prizes going but could be fun. Thursday is "Football Fanatics" so will give that one a wide berth.

99% sure I was in the mob in the third or fourth round.

Yup, Jeremy Bettle here. :P

Agreed.

I thought Aston Villa played at the Emirates station.. as I assumed Arsenal still played at Highbury!

DingDong · 10-07-2009 9:45pm

I had my two nephews playing in the same game and none of us managed to get into mob. kinda glad as I thought it was real prizes I would of been pissed if I won something only to find out I got nothing. i was a little trigger happy at times too only to spot the correct answer after I click.

Heheh, that got me too, I made sure I took my time with the John Cleese/Sneeze question though!

RobertFoster · 10-07-2009 9:47pm

Good fun. I missed the start, so I didn't hear any commentary at all. Thought I read the prizes were starting on the 10th. A few people went off with 5000 points - that's RRP of €60 isn't it?

amacachi · 10-07-2009 9:50pm

I'll be there!:D
Thursdays? I thought it was only on once a week?

Doesn't appear to be.. probably no live commentary though (not that'll it make a difference).

As someone said, there was a Football Fanatics game.. and spotted a Superhard game too.

nay a bother

for future reference though your score in the middle of a round resets to zero as one of the people i invited found out after having been in the top 10

:o:o:o:o:o

yep give or take it's about €60. suprised alot more of the people who were the one didnt use their helps.

Purple Gorilla · 10-07-2009 9:56pm

Yep it's on for 30 minutes on week days and then 2 hours "Extended Play" edition on the weekends.
Next week from Monday it's:
Superhard Edition
Boys VS Girls
Community submitted Questions
Football

Anyone mind supporting me in this thread?? I loved the game but that was my one grip with it! I would love more Irish questions as opposed to the majority UK-centric questions...

EDIT: Also, no prizes are being won this week. The real prizes start next week

EDIT 2: Prizes next week include Laptops, HDTV, Cars and holidays

Too right, see no point in the commentator at all.

Yay and yay! ^_^
