I thought I spotted a scandelous picture of Alex plastered over the front pages of the tabloids this morning! But after a brief double-take I can confirm that it was actually just the Health Secretary
As tense as that was, my main anxiety is for what looks like a leak on Key's ceiling. He might be introducing us to his upstairs neighbour next week, as they fall through the floor
This slice of NMJs will forever be known to me as: The Man With The Golden Face. Unless, of course, it’s jaundice and I’m being unwittingly unkind to Mr Horne’s medical condition.
You just reminded me of a seminar in my undergrad during which a guest professor spent two solid hours on "what is a word?" and the conclusion was "we simply don't know". Happy days!
My favourite thing about these solid gold legends is how they just immediately accept and incorporate each other's ridiculous nomenclature. KEY: "Nancy Kerrigan. No more people from that land mass - the north, south, central America. That whole blob... No blobbers... Nancy Kerrigan... no more old school blobbers." (later in the game) HORNE: "What was your challenge for Captain Rik? KEY: "American, maybe?" HORNE: "Blob, yeah."
The Whitty-Birmingham challenge would have been a cracker. Gloucester is 45 miles from Birmingham as the crow flies, though 55 miles by road so I can see Key squirming out
One of the best ever, what a start with everyone on their game. And all three players in for so long. Three hours is impressive. You have opened Pandora’s box here though, who knew?
Disappointed that Aphrodite was waved through without a debate on the category "no more people who we know their father". According to Hesiod, she didn't really have a father, but was born of the foam produced when Ouranos's genitals landed off the coast of Cythera after having been severed by Kronos (Ouranos's son and Zeus's father). Of all the characters in Greek mythology to choose for that category, she's one of the most fraught.
Very strong game today, excellent performance by the boys. You can tell these guys want it. Delighted to see another top-tier performance by Key, there was a time there where I doubted he'd ever live up to his potential. Two Sisters is a classic wildcard category in the same lane as Left-Handed, you can imagine it of just about anyone so it's always going to be tempting to play it.
Captain Rik is an interesting one. He's an astronaut so not from space. I don't believe he has a stated nationality but since Ricicles were only sold in the UK and Ireland, I think you'd have to say he isn't a Blobber. Thoughts? EDIT: I've done the work. Just seen an old ad, English accent. No Blobber to be found here!
I found a side-by-side composite in Google images with Phil and Gordon next to Andi and Ed, but fortunately it was recently established in case law (correctly imho) that this does not constitute a meeting.
I think Alex is a very lucky boy. Everyone has mistakenly believed that it was Matt Hancock caught on that CCTV footage , but they just look so darn similar.
I’ve only just started this round but if Key wins using dirty tricks then - and I realise there’s a lot of love for him on here - I’m going to kick up a fuss
That nonsense with Desert Orchid was a warcrime, though. The articles literally say "desert orchid meets the queen" and "the queen meets desert orchid".
i believe it's disputed, but wasn't aphrodite the offspring of ouranos (via the cutting off of genitals, etc etc)? meaning that category doesn't really work lol
Yes, according to Hesiod that's how she was conceived. Her mom just sorta being the sea, the Genitals were thrown into. Which would make her the Aunt of Zeus, him being a grandkid of Uranus through Kronos(who cutthe genitals off of Uranus in the first place). But after she became one of the olympic gods, Zeus adopted her as his daughter, which would legaly make him her dad. And since ones biological aunts dad is ones Grandfather, he technicly also became his own granddad. But i don't think that part of the narrative is ever explored. But according to Homer Zeus is just Aphrodites biological dad outright. So i'd say the category is fine, even if it is disputed, since they were able to name one of the people(if you can call Zeus a people) that is generally believed to be her father, biologicly or legaly.
I think this was his most defensible no walk, but out of principle of having disgraced himself two weeks running it'd have been nice to see him step up and walk on a close call. Key has 100% done a heel turn this set.

"Two or more sisters" joins "Photograph with a rabbit" as the ultimate lure categories.
Looure
@@danielcooper8964 JEEEELLLLLYYYYYY
Pandora Pitstop enters the game!
I expect Tim will have researched the deep lore in time for next week's episode
Pitstop 2.0 era thus begins
Like Smash Bros?
Ah yes, your friend and mine, PAN•DO•RAP•IT•STOP
"What are you doing?"
"Pitstop"
I'd challenge that
My thought as well
“No blobbers” is fantastic. I’m from the US, born and raised a shitting blobber
I forget where I've left my keys about eight times a day but I remembered immediately that Charlotte Bronte's dad was called Patrick.
legit, I was like, "Wait, I know Bronte's dad's name. it is Patrick!"
My TV turned off right after Key said “Penelope Pitstop” and I thought the poisoned chalice had completely ended No More Jockeys
Glad Key didn’t play Pandora Pitstop so early, with a bit of trickery you can make Pan-Do-Rap-It-Stop
Alex, when you think about it, is a solid gold legend this week
Surely, “Hi Penelope, what are you doing?” could EASILY be answered with “Pitstop”.
Easily. Another one of Key's 'nine lives'.
I thought the same thing if I’m being honest
Absolutely not. How is that an answer? If the answer was "working in the pitstop" it would work.
“I’m doing pitstop?” I don’t think so pal
@Doov No not at all, you don't work in a pitstop, you have a pitstop. You work in the pit helping drivers with their pitstops.
Big New Zealand representation here, and we, below the line and below the other line(equator), are all for it
a double under. it happens but once a century.
¡ǝɯoɔlǝM
She was referred to as "Head of State" though. In fact, Her Maj remains HoS.
some fun tricky categories from the jump, everyone staying in the game for so long and the sisters thing tripping everybody up, what a great episode
Spoilers
My favorite British drama series!
The mirror joke was an unexpected late gem in this game.
L
I really hope Horne hasn't been caught kissing his aide
Chris Whitty was born 45 miles from Birmingham in Gloucester
I'm surprised Matt Hancock hasn't adopted the "it wasn't me, it was clearly Alex Horne" defence after the CCTV footage emerged!
Certainly don’t mind some egg cup antics straight off the bat.
Pandora Pitstop was an exciting addition. She's been played a few times BTL.
We're trendsetters. Very slow trendsetters.
pan do rap it stop
That feels like a sentence, almost.
Oh, hi there! I just saw your username on the BTL server haha
@@rkah6187 Hey! It's always fun when you go on Twitter and RUclips and see people that you 'know' from the server, it's nice.
When you think of it, it’s not been a good day for your friend and mine, Matt Hancock
I'm glad he's still doing jockeys, though.
Incredible idea dangled at the end that when a product stops being produced, its mascot(s) automatically die. Powerful stuff.
I think boggle pulled some truly terrific faces during this game, well done to him I must say
I keep trying to rub a bit of dirt off my screen even though I know it's actually just something on Watto's wall.
Same!
Me too
I found myself wiping it even though I knew it was on his wall.
rule number 1 when watching a new game: do not look below the line
I go through the old below the line during the second watch, which is immediately after the initial watch
Agreed
Oh what a glorious day, Pandora Pitstop has been uncovered
Talk about opening Pandora's box. Now Key has 2 Pitstops on this race
As tense as that was, my main anxiety is for what looks like a leak on Key's ceiling. He might be introducing us to his upstairs neighbour next week, as they fall through the floor
What a dramatic end to a stressful game. Congrats for breaking the streak, Horne!
This slice of NMJs will forever be known to me as: The Man With The Golden Face.
Unless, of course, it’s jaundice and I’m being unwittingly unkind to Mr Horne’s medical condition.
I've never seen a category from the first round that was completely forgotten. Damn
now its time for What's-A-Word™ with Mark Watson
Having studied a bit of linguistics, precisely what a word is is a rather vexed question...
You just reminded me of a seminar in my undergrad during which a guest professor spent two solid hours on "what is a word?" and the conclusion was "we simply don't know". Happy days!
Hands up if you’re a Blobber who watches No More Jockeys every week.
South Blobber here
Here and present!
Big if. (I am a blobber.)
✋ Over and out!
North Blobber checking in!
Can someone check with the statistician if this is the first game we've had all three left and no challenges remaining?
So disappointed to find that - after two years - no one has answered this excellent piece of business.
I don’t mind it.
no more jockeys always arrives when I need it most
So rude that when Mark walked both other players were looking away and didn't even notice
Seventeenth century musicians had the sonata da camera and the sonata da chiesa; No More Jockeys has songs of whoa and songs of hoy.
really enjoyed horne trying to sneak in the egg banter
My favourite thing about these solid gold legends is how they just immediately accept and incorporate each other's ridiculous nomenclature.
KEY: "Nancy Kerrigan. No more people from that land mass - the north, south, central America. That whole blob... No blobbers... Nancy Kerrigan... no more old school blobbers."
(later in the game)
HORNE: "What was your challenge for Captain Rik?
KEY: "American, maybe?"
HORNE: "Blob, yeah."
Looking forward to set 5 when they catch up with the latest Hancock news. "Nobody has 2 sisters" also an instant classic
curry struggles right off the bat, immediately sets tension
i'm loving mark's play for phoebe waller-bridge
The Whitty-Birmingham challenge would have been a cracker. Gloucester is 45 miles from Birmingham as the crow flies, though 55 miles by road so I can see Key squirming out
"When he books you, you stay booked"
One of the best ever, what a start with everyone on their game. And all three players in for so long. Three hours is impressive. You have opened Pandora’s box here though, who knew?
You can definitely ‘wall a bridge’. That’s a golden duck. Watson’s walking off with his bat under his arm
Key was lucky there, I think "pitstop" could totally be an answer to "what are you doing?"
This was a proper game, when you think about it. One of the big ones. Excellent sport.
This game will go down as "the beginning of the end"
obsessed. this was amazing
Thrilling to see the game enter ultima provocatione
Topical Matt Hancock reference today! 😬
the most confusing affair of the modern age
Maybe it’s not Matt Hancock in that, he did look like he could have a golden face… 🤔
Just came up with one for the first category! Steven Hawking. Hawking is a thing you can do!
Tim’s first category is such a fiddly one
Disappointed that Aphrodite was waved through without a debate on the category "no more people who we know their father". According to Hesiod, she didn't really have a father, but was born of the foam produced when Ouranos's genitals landed off the coast of Cythera after having been severed by Kronos (Ouranos's son and Zeus's father).
Of all the characters in Greek mythology to choose for that category, she's one of the most fraught.
Came here to find this comment. When he said it I was like wait, we famously can't name Aphrodite's dad hahaha
Mark's "What are you doing?" name was Clare Balding, right?
I love these guys, but I find myself looking at Key the whole time because he's just so adorable.
A very high standard of play today. You love to see it
"A dictionary is a book full of words and letters"
It's really unique in that respect, most books just have cheese in them
2 days late. Glad I can watch the replay.
Very strong game today, excellent performance by the boys. You can tell these guys want it. Delighted to see another top-tier performance by Key, there was a time there where I doubted he'd ever live up to his potential.

What a birthday treat! 🎂
I choked on my jelly beans, when Alex said he’d spent his lottery win on the eggcup! 🤢🤣😂
Is it me or are there NO PICTURES of Ed the Duck with Philip Schofield! Certainly not in 90 seconds
incredibly, unbelievably, you seem to be correct. It was PhiScho with other puppets or our friend Ed with other humans.
It's as if they don't even exist in the same universe...
I found a side-by-side composite in Google images with Phil and Gordon next to Andi and Ed, but fortunately it was recently established in case law (correctly imho) that this does not constitute a meeting.
'Average of six letters per name' is not the same as 'letters in name divisible by 6'. You could have 24 letters in two names (or three).
Yes, I was surprised that wasn't better explored. Given name five, surname seven, that's an average of six.
I found out recently that pilates was invented by Joe Pilates, which would've been a great 'name another' for the first category
A scroto being a screen-grabbed photo of course
Alex could have gone out on Don Bradman - he had three sisters.
Somebody has two sisterrrs
Wow! Hilarious game today !
Witty from Glousceter! 44 miles as the crow flies.
Q: What are you doing?
A: Pitstop.
Finally, we have another Name Another for "No More Solid Gold Legends"...
An all time classic!
Wonderful stuff.
13:35 Resting challenger face
I think Alex is a very lucky boy. Everyone has mistakenly believed that it was Matt Hancock caught on that CCTV footage , but they just look so darn similar.
Pierre luigi collina; average of 6 letters per name
I thought so until Pierluigi - would have been a definite lure for me..!
I’ve only just started this round but if Key wins using dirty tricks then - and I realise there’s a lot of love for him on here - I’m going to kick up a fuss
That's fiddly actually, because I love Key, but I also really love a bit of a fuss.
i think you'll find key's winning through hard work and determination
Asserting his dominance if you ask me.
That nonsense with Desert Orchid was a warcrime, though.
The articles literally say "desert orchid meets the queen" and "the queen meets desert orchid".
When you think about it, Sally Rooney's brother has two sisters
Monster match guys, have a nap.
Der Klassiker claiming more victims than TB. Brutal. I don't mind it.
Noooo one has twoooooo siiiisters
hoy
What was the punchline?! Another classica. Thanks gents.
I'm think it was 'Audi!'.
As in Howdy but in a cockney accent. “‘Owdy”
Bad day to look like Matt Hancock I reckon
PANDORA !
I had no idea.
Watto’s cup is a tiny Finnish Magic cup.
They are absolutely beautiful!
WHAT A GAME. Best one yet! The naming dads category was great, shame it didn't come up as a challenge.
Ah yes, the return of Horsegate
The rest of my family were playing cards the other night. I asked them what they were doing. They said "Bridge".
Did they say waller bridge?
@@britishhedgehog Surely you could wall a bridge. To stop people falling off it for instance.
Ironically, since his I'm A Celebrity appearance, Hancock is far more likely to appear in Goldface
Someone said to me that Tim Key sounds like a young Paul Merton and now I cannot unhear it.
i believe it's disputed, but wasn't aphrodite the offspring of ouranos (via the cutting off of genitals, etc etc)? meaning that category doesn't really work lol
just what i was thinking
Yes, according to Hesiod that's how she was conceived. Her mom just sorta being the sea, the Genitals were thrown into. Which would make her the Aunt of Zeus, him being a grandkid of Uranus through Kronos(who cutthe genitals off of Uranus in the first place).

How many times - animals ARE persons if they have a personality. Birds and mammals certainly do and therefore are.
Pan do rap it stop?
A lengthy game ending in 'death or glory' challenges, with death to both 'challangers'. Don't mind it.
Alex MUST have seen Nancy Kerrigan's father's name while checking to see if she has sisters. Could have taken Tim out on that.
Bit of a dirty trick, though.
Key, we're not angry with you, we're disappointed. Some sportsmanship would really help your case here.
I think this was his most defensible no walk, but out of principle of having disgraced himself two weeks running it'd have been nice to see him step up and walk on a close call. Key has 100% done a heel turn this set.
I miss Mark saying fiddly... But I like the average of 6 letters rule
As in "Pierre LuigiC ollina"?
@@iangallears3245 dude they went through 3 twelve letter names! It was bonkers
@@thomaskuzma4360 Wow, I really wasn't paying attention 🤦♂️
Two people being people coloured, and a people painted gold
Why did Alex actually have that tint to him randomly here? Between this and the weird costumes I legit wonder haha
Jacinta Arden is 12 letters!!
