The deaths of Romeo and Juliet occur in a sequence of compounding stages: first, Juliet drinks a potion that makes her appear dead. Thinking her dead, Romeo then drinks a poison that actually kills him. Seeing him dead, Juliet stabs herself through the heart with a dagger. Sorry for being pedantic.
It's a ball game played on a table, where you hit a white ball, the cue, with the intention of pocketing reds (worth 1 point) followed by a colour until all the reds are gone and then you pot the colours in sequence. Yellow is worth 2, green 3, brown 4, blue 5, pink 6, black seven. If you pot read black consistently you get the 147 'perfect break' score, i.e. the highest score attainable
We're not used to words ending in _ku,_, in the English language, I suppose? Everything tends to be: Casino, Bingo, Yoyo, Domino, Lotto, Polo. English speaking people also get the _stress_ wrong - it's a long stressed first syllable, and then a short second and third: _SOO_ -do-ku
"The Washington Post" (Sousa march) is named for Washington, DC -- not the State of Washington. Granted, the solution was "States of the U.S." and not, strictly speaking, "Songs about States of the U.S." Still bugs me.
The state of Washington is in the pacific north west and includes the great city of Seattle, a beautiful city to go to. Also right next to the border with Canada, with the city of Vancouver not far. Washington DC is on the west coast and is part of the District of Columbia
Prince Philip 'gaffe': "You went to Papua New Guinea and you managed not to get eaten." But.... this is true of the Korowai tribe... so why is this a 'gaffe'?

It's impossibly difficult but I do like the missing vowels round. Coren gives the impression she knows the answers, but WE know she just reads the cards. I do wish she'd just get on with it and cease her attempts at trying (and failing) to be witty.
Carol Lake yes because every other quiz show host can answer the questions, especially on University Challenge. What exactly is your point? A woman seeming clever is anathema?
Difference between V Corren And Stephen Fry, Corren thinks she is clever cos she has the answers (like she knew it already) S Fry DID know the answers and MORE
As Alan Davies once said about QI, "Stephen has a card with the answers, a teleprompter and an earpiece for people telling him things." And as Stephen himself has said that he gets to the studio hours before QI is recorded and goes through the questions and answers. ua-cam.com/video/0B1kiUzkcto/v-deo.html
Stephen Fry has told stories as though he was present, when they are in books I read decades before. I would bet he had read them, too. One was the QI story about a Cockney saying, I'm not antiseptic (anti Yank), but... He quoted it pretty well word for word, but said he had been talking to a cheeky chappie. It is a bit disappointing, because he has actually had huge opportunities to meet so many history makers, but now I am a bit cynical of everything he claims. He may know the facts, but his claims to have hobnobbed and chatted with history makers, observed quirks amongst interesting characters... and really, it seems so oddly insecure. If it was just once... but it is repeated. But now, I am permanently dubious.

Love the teamwork on the Tom Jones question!
So obvious but I blanked, good last minute save
I was confused a bit by the Great Lakes, because Ontario is smaller by area...but then I remembered that Erie is very shallow...

It's beyond belief that someone of Matthew Parris's age didn't recognize George VI.
He's unmistakeable. And only one monarch before the reigning one, so there's enough footage around of him still to feel 'recent past'...
Especially given he was a child of Empire as well, brought up in Rhodesia
Mercutio? .. Oh, guess he'd be the first of 5 in that sequence..
Yes, he has one magnificent speech (QM), then snuffs it, unfortunately... 🥴

I got the Gremlins one on the first clue!
so which ball is grey in snooker, 129 in grey, 129 should have been brown.
Wow, that is so interesting, I knew that was George VI and I am American, specifically, in the U.S.
It's shameful that none of them got it right, tbh...
I'm not British enough to get any of these. Even the States one
The island is Britain, the people are not. There is 3 separate nations on the island; Scotland, Wales and England.
Why are you correcting him like he’s said something incorrect? We are British. Stop being a nonce and making us all look bad
Soduko style? :-O
Rosie Boycott? I thought it was James May!
The got the clue of "The watershed" the wrong way round. (I answered the Evening News airs).
I'm surprised they didn't recognise George VI.
That is one Miss Daisy I would dearly love to drive 18 years later and she is still easy on the eye.
Corfield... Corfield... Holden Corfield?
OH MY GOD I GOT THE SID JAMES QUESTION ON THE FIRST ONE, I WILL NEVER WATCH THIS SHOW AGAIN

Jimmy Carr called her Vicky on QI once.
15:59 Don't know if I've ever heard suicide discussed in such a bright tone
They should keep the bear mascot
Spoiler alert.
I've been sitting in the dark, yelling THISTLE, repeatedly.
This must be what sports fans feel.
The teams did know they could see all four clues in the first round, right?
Didn't Daisy produce, (or something seniorish), Grand Designs?
How, as Daisy suggests, does Romeo kill himself and then Juliet?!

It’s just casual phrasing. I.e. and then Juliet kills herself

When did Washington become a state?
11th November 1889
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_(state)
There's Washington and Washington DC. Washington DC isn't a state, but Washington is.
The state of Washington is in the pacific north west and includes the great city of Seattle, a beautiful city to go to. Also right next to the border with Canada, with the city of Vancouver not far. Washington DC is on the west coast and is part of the District of Columbia
