she doesn't know 4/5 and she's the brainiac of the family? Is her bother kept in a box? Don't even get me started on the engineer who can't do simple math.

4/5th of 100 ? background colour of the union jack? this episode is difficult to watch

[@technicolorexplosion]

I swear to god, aren't these people English? They don't know their own flag...

[@tengizsanikidze7165]

I'm shocked, 4/5th as percentage, and asking an audience...👎👎👎 certainly one of the wickiest couples

[@aMentalPie]

I’m so happy that first two only went away with 1,000. Most clueless I’ve seen on the show

[@vishsola5174]

I cannot believe how many including father daughter and audience got so confused with the Union Jack question

[@justforfun2347]

that union jack question was so precise, definately too hard a question for only £2,000. should have been more closer to 32,000

[@RogerJJSmith]

Definitely a bastard of a question that one. However, questions should really be harder when couples play as you've got two heads.

[@gameshowguy2000]

​@@RogerJJSmithYou sure? You do realize there are times when ONE of them knows it.. proven on the American version several times.

[@alanmackie6180]

​@@RogerJJSmithTwo heads means twice the doubt. Wouldn't be the first time, one was 100% sure but the other one talked them out of it.

They're not very bright

[@brandonmartin-moore5302]

I think they should have done "parent and child" versions on the UK version where the child is under 18, as many international versions have done.

[@admiralsven576]

It's because legally only the BBC is allowed to give cash prizes to kids: the law regarding it was made in 1934 (I think), long before anyone even had the idea of ITV

[@Adam-im3uz]

4:55 both father and daughter are a waste of space

[@12Fireblast]

I always thought the British know their flag, my God! 3 lifelines on the £1000 question.. For God's sake...

[@Ernest_Thesiger]

24:10 It always amused me when Chris claimed it was a computer that randomly left one wrong answer with the correct answer and that it was just a coincidence that the two answers taken away were almost always the two answers the players already knew weren't correct.
29:51 Did anybody else walk away on 2K?
Surely if you've got an inkling, it's worth going for it, given that you're never going to be on the show again and you may know the answers to the next 2 or 3 questions.
Was it really not worth risking 500 quid for a half-decent chance of winning at least 4K each?

[@hakc97again]

Yes quite a few people have left on £2,000. In fact 2 people left with £500

[@haisonpham1431]

Coldclough but one of them got a criminal record. The other got in a book by Chris Tarrant.

[@Gonken88]

The 50/50 was decided for every question in advance, and they always left the most plausible wrong answer. The got critique for that in my country so they changed it into leaving the most bullshit wrong answer. Not a coincidence granted, but it wasn't decided during the run.

[@hawkeye-vv4kb]

Good Lord ... does not know 4/5 = 80%.

[@vokonikov8216]

not only 1 person , but 2 at teh same time

[@Musicrecords10]

They don't know their own flag, haha

THAT was a trick question!! It's Samuel Goldwyn, so listing Sam as a Warner Bro is misleading

[@onnapnewo]

Sam Warner was one of the Warner Brothers. It's not misleading, there were just two Hollywood executives named Sam.

Huh? I thought Charless Lindberg was the first to cross the Atlantic to Europe.

Lindbergh flew from New York to Paris in 1927 as a solo pilot.Alcock and Brown flew together from Newfoundland to Ireland in 1919.

AMAZING how IGNORANT so many people are on SIMPLE general knowledge. ESPECIALLY, on questions related to the Monarchy . SHOCKING. And I am not even British !!
