Next year Dr Simon Clark should do a Mastermind style quiz. That way contestants can have a 'specialist subject' and feel like they've bossed it (i.e. Hulmes could have D&D, Martin could have Minecraft etc - who knows people might go left field!) and then have general knowledge round too and see where it goes. Probably an easier set up for the tech team too!!
Tougher for DSC to do the questions though. Mastermind has a whole team of question masters to build the sets and ensure they're as balanced as possible. Putting it on one guy to build equally challenging sets of questions on disparate subjects (some of which he may personally know nothing about) is asking a lot of one man.
Very true! It was just a thought. Perhaps the community could help with questions - although quality control could be an issue I suppose... Either way, I'll be watching the quiz again next year because it'a become one of my favourite parts of the Jingle Jam! Thanks for all the effort Dr Simon!
What you in the US call a pound cake we call a sponge in the UK though. The question was written for a US audience but was asked to UK people, that's why it was such a confusing mess.
However, I'm gonna nitpick (sarcastically): Why did they use the £500,000 question music for the entire show? and why did they use the £500,000 winning music for the entire game? Simon was being very 'Tarrant' about everything. However, he's doing it all the time and not just later on in the game, which kills the suspense. No Fastest Finger First. Sadge. Obviously sarcastic. Loved it!

Would love to see this
I have thought about doing this! I'd be up for it, though writing the questions might be a bit more difficult

"Your name is?"
"Lewis Brindley"
"And your specialist subject is?"
"Pushing people into canals"
Love to the studio folks, I can't imagine the logistical pressures of trying to run this live.
Bouphe calling Lydia *right* as she calls Mike was amazing. I was laughing my ass off at that
Simon did such a good Chris Tarrant impersonation
The Fact that Mark just called Matt Mercer amazed me.
I understand knowing the guy, since they run popular online D&D shows. But just casually calling Matthew pecking Mercer is an absolute power move.
@@garr_inc Apparently they knew each other way before Critical Role and High Rollers
'I have a Uterus, my dude' should be on a shirt.
Well played Zylus. Not a single question wrong.
LETS GO BRINDLEY
THAT's MY BOY
We've got Cedric Diggory's father in the comments, I see.
GET IN
they did shadow dirty with that starting question
"STAMAN! IT'S STAMEN!"
A pound cake is made in equal parts of eggs, flour, sugar and butter. I know it as a quatre quarts, as in 4 equal parts of those ingredients.
What you in the US call a pound cake we call a sponge in the UK though. The question was written for a US audience but was asked to UK people, that's why it was such a confusing mess.
Both sugar and butter are correct
Simon was on comedic form through all of this. 😂
My favourite Game Show of all time with a Yogscast Twist. Love it!
However, I'm gonna nitpick (sarcastically):
Why did they use the £500,000 question music for the entire show?
and why did they use the £500,000 winning music for the entire game?

On a serious note, Simon did an incredible job! I'd love to be in his position. I love Millionaire!
@@Jb33124 If you're being sarcastic, you don't mean it to be serious. It seems like you do.
@StefanCreates Nah. this is literally just me being nitpicky and not intended to be serious at all! I loved this whole stream!
41:25 Woody the woodpecker?
I love how Lewis got the farthest.
Rigged!! Hahaha just a jest. Feels like I have to say this... Which is unfortunate.
@@totallyathome You don't.
IF YOU FLIP A COIN AND YOU DON'T LIKE THE RESULT, THEN THE COIN FLIP WORKED, it might not be correct, but its a strategy
We all love a nice Jaff.
We need a yogscast would I lie to you
Thank you doctor
Zylus did the best, IMO
Shadow is much taller than my mental picture I madre based on her voice
god i love dr. simon clark
My Minecraft UA-cam childhood and my climate change UA-cam present ❤️
I liked it, i like watching them squirm (i would be the same)
It was okay - too many drag on bits and fake gravitas.
What do you mean?
okay fun police
Respectfully disagree
that's how the real show was
