They do sometimes have the same answer on two boards. Not often though.

Interesting concept. Trouble is you can't pause the screen for a longer deliberation as you can with a picture round. And once the next tune's playing you can no longer bring to mind the previous one. I'm surprised they only played the tunes once.

Yeah I did except for not knowing any of the answers. I'd hope we'll have more of them.

Didn't like it but music in general and theme tunes in particular wouldn't be my forte.

I thought it was good, although maybe they should have played smaller snippets as well as a repeat listen

Audio round, eh...?

Having just watched it for myself, I can't say it's a bad idea at all.

I do have to agree, though, that it would probably be better if the songs were played twice rather than once. Perhaps they'll do that in the future.

They may have been played more than once but edited out of the final broadcast.
Remember this from the previous thread regarding the picture round.

Whenever there is a difficult question or picture round, the contestants are allowed time to think (Xander said it was to be fair to podium 1) and are allowed to go up to the board to take a closer look.
