Nice to see Carrie has her finger on the pulse with the important jobs when it comes to being president.

I did like the Poundshop gag, that has kept me amused for years. Every time we go in I ask Char how much everything thing is, then at Christmas with my Sister she was telling us what she had bought in there and I was telling her what we had bought in there, always with the question, how much was that then? SO FUNNY.

But best of all was Daves gag.

Chris. "Fork Handles"?

Dave" They come in packs of three"

Priceless comedy genius!

So was Viaduct (except it wasn't called Viaduct, it was called Mastermind.) I laughed at that too Boboff, brilliant!

I've always wondered - why was it called Viaduct? I mean, I know a Viaduct is one of those bridges that carries a canal, but what connection does that have to the game?

Off the top of my head, I think it was just a name that they came up with and liked.

Really? I thought it had something to do with the gap in between each column on a viaduct -- since in the game, the contestants answered not the question they were asked but the question prior to it. Thus a gap in questions.

Too much?

I thought it was just linking A to B. You answer Question B with Answer A.

I think I prefer Tofu's answer. Made up, sounds reasonably relevant without actually meaning anything in particular.

I vaguely remember them saying it was an arbitrary word they came up with because they wanted a name which had nothing to do with the feature at all. Very vaguely though.

I think it was something like that although I thought I read somewhere that Dave liked the name at the time so they chose that for the game. Don't know if that's true or not though?
