Richard forgot to mention that Cronus was a Titan, the father of Zeus and Persephone is only "Queen of the Underworld" for half the year, which is why we have seasons.
How do they do these surveys exactly????? Do they show people a list and ask them to pick or do they actually ask people to come up with an answer? I only ask because the Greek/Roman dieties one was strange to me. Way too easy, and I don't understand how people would NOT get them correct and not all get them if shown a list. If asked to come up with it, i could then see those being lower points, since it is a bit harder to list them off. Idk.
It's the other way around, for the points, isn't it ? They ask people to give names from the top of their heads, and gather the answers, meaning that people might know of him but may not think of him immediately when asked an open question about deities ?
@@maximepaccalet4449 yeah people may have thought of Vulcan - both as a guess and as part of the 100 - but discarded it, thinking they were getting mixed up with Star Trek.
I really thought it would have been Ben Affleck for Armageddon. EDIT: As a Monopoly aficionado, I'm extremely disappointed that they expected me to know the UK version (I guessed King's Cross). 🤣🤣🤣
@scottwallbank4794 No, not surprised. And I do know a bit about the UK version, just not as much as the US version (as a 40-year player of the game). I was only being cheeky.
19:30 she thinks young people don't know Stallone and Rambo? lol yeah maybe a 13 y.o wont know him, but average 18-40 y.o people know him, even if we weren't alive at the time.
I was right about the Spice Girls. Geri Halliwell gets overlooked the most and Victoria and Emma are the most well known. Back in 1999 when I was in kindergarten, my friends often wanted to play Spice Girls and everyone always grabbed Posh and Baby from the start. No one chose either of the Mels or Geri.
@@gnu_andrew I'm actually a major Emma stan, but Mel B is my favourite Spice. She seems really funny and still pretty active. I remember on the Greatest Hits album from the late 2000s, she made jokes on each note to the other four. I don't remember all of them, except that she wrote to Victoria "You're an amazing woman and I know you secretly fancy me haha".
@@strawberrysoulforever8336 is that in the liner notes for that album? I think it's a shame Mel B's solo career didn't go further. She was out of the gates first, but I think the marriages messed things up for her. Her & Geri struck me as the most interesting from the start, and then it became clear during their solo careers that Mel C was the strongest musician. I've never really had an issue with Emma. It's just that she never excited me in the same way as the other three. Victoria always struck me as the one who wasn't really meant to be a pop star and I guess that's now backed up by her being the one who doesn't want to be involved in reunions. She does have a good sense of humour though. I was watching her & David being interviewed by Ali G the other day and she goes along with it quite well. Do you know the track "Spice Invaders"? It's basically just a bunch of nonsense that was one of their B sides, but it really shows off their personalities and I don't think I've ever heard anything like that from any other artist. I don't think people who weren't around at the time really get that the Spice Girls were as much (if not more) about the personalities as the music.
@gnu_andrew No. Sadly I wasn't a fan in their heyday as I was too little to be looking for pop and my parents only listened to the CDs they liked, so I grew up with Cat Stevens, Carly Simon and David Bowie, with the occasional tracks from Jesus Christ Superstar and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. I only discovered them when Greatest Hits came out and their only other album that got sold was Spice, which had the first five Greatest Hits songs (but I did really like Love Thing and Last Time Lover). I'm not a fan of Mel C's voice. Nothing wrong with it, but it's just I generally like sweet voices. That's why I like Emma's voice - she has the sweetest voice of the five, even though Victoria has a very pure singing voice too. I haven't heard many of the songs on the other albums, so no Spice Invaders. I actually first discovered Geri in her solo cover of It's Raining Men. Now, though, I prefer the Weather Girls version.
@@strawberrysoulforever8336 ah right, I'm at the other end of their fan base, being already a teen in the late 90s when there were at their peak. Funnily enough though, it seems we both grew up with early 70s music. My mum & I used to watch a lot of Top of the Pops re-runs with Bowie and the like when I was a kid. I agree Mel C's voice can be a bit of an acquired taste, though probably the strongest of the five. She's also probably the one who experimented musically the most, having done rock songs, dance songs and musical theatre, like her duet with Emma. The Spice Invaders track is actually a "B side", I think to "Spice Up Your Life", so it's pretty obscure. I don't know if it made its way onto streaming services with the rest. Did you know Geri's version of "It's Raining Men" first or the original? I think it was Geri first for me, and then the Weather Girls version became my preferred one like you. There are some good remixes of the Geri version though, particularly the Almighty one. It's also kind of a little tainted now that I know she was unwell at the time.
The names Cronus and Kronos are often used interchangeably, but they refer to different figures depending on the context. Here’s the distinction: 1. Cronus (Κρόνος): • A figure from Greek mythology, one of the Titans. • The son of Uranus (Sky) and Gaia (Earth). • Known for overthrowing his father Uranus and later being overthrown by his son Zeus. • Associated with time (and as they did in the show:)AND SOMETIMES HARVEST(hence depicted with a sickle or scythe). • His myth is symbolic of the cyclical nature of time and the inevitability of succession. 2. Kronos: • Another way of writing Cronus, especially in transliterations from Greek. • However, sometimes it is used to refer to Chronos (Χρόνος), the personification of time in Greek thought. • Chronos is often conflated with Cronus in later traditions but is distinct-Chronos represents abstract time, not a mythological figure. One thing that did get wrong was that even if he is sometimes associated with harvest he is a titan and not a God .

Phew, Series 4 really was some time ago eh? Xander and Richard's hair, and not-quite-as-evolved question formats.

Idk.
They said at the beginning they give 100 people 100 seconds to list as many answers as they can.
The hundred people just list what they can come up with in the time and the question writers then form it into the questions.
brutal jackpot round. i only had vanilla sky and the mask
I was surprised Any Given Sunday wasn’t pointless. I didnt imagine many Brits would guess a film about American football.
all i could think of was the mask, Charlies angels and the knight something
How could Vulcan be pointless? They must all only be thinking of Star Trek lol.
i was thinking possible red herring like

The only thing that was putting me off about Vulcan was the Norse mythology
The Last Supper was my best guess for the Cameron Diaz round, cannot believe that wasn't pointless!
Battlefield Earth is one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. It’s not supposed to be a comedy, but man is it hilarious, especially Travolta.
I really thought it would have been Ben Affleck for Armageddon.

You're surprised a UK show uses the UK Monpoly board? The UK board goes as far back as the US one.

Opposite for me. I always found Emma & Victoria incredibly dull. They also had the weakest solo careers.

Question? The 100 people they poll prior to the program ... are they the studio audience or random?
Random

Hotties...and dressed alike...hmmm 😅
Chronus god of Agriculture? I coudl swear he was the representation of time
I was thinking of Kronos, Zeus‘ dad
And it appears that was right an he is spelled Cronus in English and he also has something to do with agriculture
Both right. You need time to grow crops.
The names Cronus and Kronos are often used interchangeably, but they refer to different figures depending on the context. Here’s the distinction:

• His myth is symbolic of the cyclical nature of time and the inevitability of succession.
2. Kronos:

• However, sometimes it is used to refer to Chronos (Χρόνος), the personification of time in Greek thought.

One thing that did get wrong was that even if he is sometimes associated with harvest he is a titan and not a God .
Cameron Diaz was in Being John. Surely a pointless answer?
Seems not, otherwise it would have been on the list Richard gave at the end.
Pretty sure he says Barkley rather than Berkley. 100 Points for Richard Osman.
He does, yes, but that's common British pronunciation. They also pronounce 'clerk' as 'clark,' for example.
It's Marylebone , not Marlybone
Damn i was hoping green hornet or vanilla sky would be pointless
the ladies in the head to head standing on boxes again...
Pretty standard for game shows. I was on Jeopardy and, at 6’2”, was one of the few contestants that week not standing on an apple box.
Armageddon???? You guys need yo heads checked!
