"And I'm sure people are screaming at the TV" -> I was one of them... :roll:

And there goes Ted the Scrrable Player, but hey at least the Anscomb Family has a teapot now and I'm sure Jack will be pleased! Anyone noticed the same person who solved today's conundrum solved SCIENTIST back on 29 January 2018? (Thanks Sam Prouse for pointing this out!)

Also proves that you don't reedit to rectify human error.
It also gives a lot of viewers pleasure to beat her for once.

Which is why it's better than the French version which used a machine - beating Rachel and DC is one of the real buzzes (however infrequent) :)
