@@wongbenyb2679The British not possessing intricate knowledge of Occitan, turned Afrikaans, orthography and phonetics (or, more likely, American pop culture), how dare they! Theron is also originally a Greek first name which is pronounced like the Brits in the video did, certainly in Enlgish, at least. The Afrikaans pronunciation is also nothing like Thur-ON. More like Tron. So I suppose the South Africans butcher the original pronunciation, and Charlize (or Hollywood) in turn butcher that pronunciations. And if the Occitans directly or indirectly based the name on the Greek word/name, they butchered it too. In that case, it had gone through four steps of butchering by the time the British were through with it, ending up closer to the original pronunciation than anyone else.
Because British game shows (any those in many countries besides the US) are typically more about the experience and competition and less about winning tonnes of money. The shows that focus on massive winnings are usually only those that were adapted from American game shows, with Who Wants to be a Millionaire being a rare exception.

7:06 "It scores you nothing!"
This is the only show where you actually want to hear this.
though it was wrong I'm sure Charlize Theron would have smashed it as Harvey Milk
But they also said her name wrong. I saw it spelled phonetically in a magazine interview with her - THAIR-uhn, not Thur-ON.
@@thestingman2966 British people butchering name from other origin. What's new?

@@wongbenyb2679 In this case, it’s not just them. People from North America say her name wrong all the time too.
But I do think Sean Penn used to smash Charlize so there’s that
No mention that the 100 Novels list only contains English-language novels? Also, having looked it up, it's a shocking list.
Yeah, it's really a bad list.
Sophie Kennedy Clark should also be a good answer for Philomena

"what do you want to name your daughter?" - "eh... Lana?"
I thought maecapone was also the fake hormone, but I thought it because the word sounded like "make up", i.e. a made up hormone.
How the F is c.s Lewis there but Not Tolkien
Tolkien was probably not pointless
Ben Kingston?
Feel really sorry for her don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone one on this show more nervous
Anthropometry!
Doesn’t 🇬🇧 have only 160-ish universities total? 🤔
I was shocked it's that many! The Netherlands only has 14, but they're probably a lot bigger than the average British university
Why is the jackpot such a shit amount
