Answers

The Chase

1. Drink it. The answer is in the title for this warm-up question. Big Gulp if you got it wrong.

2. Aunt. Join the fantastic French family, from Wiltshire, in a special edition who answered this and other questions correctly to scoop £20,000 in Series 1.

3. Snake. Yesss! If you got it right, like Blue singer Duncan James in a celeb show, who added £139,000 to the all-star group’s charity prize fund in 2017.

4. Blue. Red, white and who? Well done on another one in the bag. Bonus points if you managed to read the question without laughing, unlike Bradley Walsh. The cock was, of course, a male chicken.

5. 90 minutes. Out of this world. If you’ve answered this correctly and the others you can take pride in having beaten The Chaser.

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?

1. Ostrich, antelope, beetle, spider. If you got this right you’re headed to the hot seat to play. Bonus points if you beat contestant Lou Harvey who achieved it in 4.60 seconds.

2. Sylvester Stallone. If you got this right, you’re better than celebrity contestant, footie manager Harry Redknapp, who became the first person to go home with nothing since Clarkson took over the show.

3. Los Angeles. Give yourself a gold medal, you’re through to the next round.

4. Richard II. Snot got this question wrong? Well, you’re one right answer away from scooping the jackpot, just like TV interiors expert Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and his wife Jackie in a celeb show in 2006.

5. Peru. Like our late Queen Elizabeth II, you either love a marmalade sandwich or this furry fella. Well done, by getting it right you have just bagged £1million.

The 1% Club

1. Incy Wincy. You’re through the first round after identifying Postman Pat and Bob The Builder are names that do not rhyme.

2. Words and this. You can certainly speell, if you spotted the wright spellings among that line-up.

3. 19. Clocking up a few correct answers now, but watch out the next few questions could catch you out.

4. S and E. She may sell seashells on the sea shore, but you’re one question away from winning £100,000.

5. BE (BronzE). You have just won GD if you correctly answered BE after realising the answer is finding the first and last letters of the top three medals in a competition.

Pointless

1. Creole. Yolks on you if you picked a more popular answer than this dish, which consists of scrambled eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms and peppers.

2. Santiago. Hopefully England fans will for ever remember the 2026 World Cup location after winning in the final.

3. Handrail. Many will be tempted to choose avail or curtail for this but the least said answer was handrail.

4. Overseek. Eek! Another tricky question, from hosts Richard Osman and Alexander Armstrong.

5. Belfast. B-eautiful for those who chose the Northern Ireland capital as their answer.

QI

1. Oyster. Unlike QI panelist Alan Davies, let’s hope you didn’t clam up while answering this question.

2. Blackcurrant squash. There was no monkeying around for this Houdini-inspired animal. Had he escaped this year, he may have gone after PRIME-mate.

3. Fax. Noel Gallagher claims band co-founder Paul quit via fax and refused to answer calls in 1999. But Oasis fans know they weren’t mad, they chose to Roll With It.

4. Llamas. This question posed no llama drama for you. Bizarrely, more than half of guard llama owners claim the animal prevented any sheep deaths from predators.

5. Elevator. No time for stalling with this question. The elevator in question reaches 1,260 metres per minute in the CTF Finance Centre, in Guangzhou, China.

Tipping Point

1. A. Viewers fumed over this question, calling it “utterly ridiculous” and the “easiest ever” to be asked on the show. Let’s hope you got it right.

2. 9. This may seem an easy one but McFly’s Danny Jones and I’m A Celebrity’s Georgia Toffolo were initially stumped by this question on a celebrity version.

3. Butterfly. Let’s hope you guessed this right, unlike flustered contestant Sharon who, in a panic, yelled out “Dog”.

4. Harvard University. Contestant Wendy failed to get this one right but viewers were more interested in her likeness to Bake Off star Prue Leith.

5. Ambrosia. Yogh-ot it! This ancient Greek writer, born in the 8th Century BC, wrote The Iliad and The Odyssey. The show contestants answered “doughnuts” . . . D’oh! Wrong Homer.

Only Connect

1. They were born in India. And did you know Sir Cliff Richard’s real name is Harry Roger Webb?

2. Ben Affleck. True Batman fans will recognise this as a list of the caped crusader’s films going forward in time.

3. On the Moon. All of these odd items have been left on the surface.

4. SFA. Each answer relates to SFA – Sweet Fanny Adams, meaning to get nothing; Super Furry Animals, Nineties Welsh rock band; the Securities and Futures Authority; the Scottish Footballing Association.

5. Why selenium. The chemical symbols for these elements spell out Be, C and Au, with Selenium you get Se. Why? BeCAuSe. We told you they were tricky.

The Wheel

1. Freshly baked bread. Dough no! If you got this easy starter question wrong.

2. Structural engineer. Big kids, or those with little kids, are likely to get this one right, just like Dermot O’Leary on the show.

3. Russian. Houston, we haven’t a problem with this answer, just like BBC star Gareth Malone, of TV show The Choir, who also successfully answered this question.

4. 50 windmills. Nice move! If you got this right, you beat reality star Gemma Collins, who failed to provide the right answer for contestant Natasha on the show.

5. Attendance first over 100,000. Even music expert Jo Whiley, a former BBC Radio 1 DJ, failed to get this answer right while trying to help contestant Kyra.
