Here it is http://www.youtube.com/user/davidmitche ... Yv2kpalUu0

I've gone for
1: Pierce Brosnan
2: A Star
3: Cadbury's
4: Iron
5: Butter, Jam, Cream
6: Vase rhymes with rays not has

And for the tiebreaker I'll go for Pastafarianism

Intersting. I can help you improve those a bit.

1: Not Pierce Brosnan
3: Dark? Belgian? Toblerone?
4: Top Hat surely
6: Vase rhymes with niether rays nor has

As I dislike jam and religion I can't really help you with the others.

3. http://www.hotelchocolat.co.uk/
6. vase rhymes with baas

Religion: none of the above

Nope. Strategically you should go for the iron as it's less noticeable by the other players and you can land on people's property and get away with it. Or so I have heard.

My thoughts on the ones I have thougts about:

1: Roger Moore, simply because it is an hilarious name.
3: Agree - there was a sketch on That Mitchell and Webb sound vaguely recently where they were taking the piss out of people who (for example) say that super dark chocolate is delicious, when really Cadbury's is actually nice because it tastes sweet, so I reckon that's a pretty safe bet.
4: I'd be tempted to go with "none, because Monopoly is a shit game", but I don't know what his views on Monopoly are.

You won't be joining the WI any time soon then?

The thing about question three is, I think, it's not good enough to say dark or milk or even hot. It's the brand you have to say because Cadbury's dark chocolate (Or Bournville if you prefer) is better than say Terry's dark chocolate.

But the question isn't "which brand of chocolate is the best". It's "which type of chocolate is the best".

I guess, but in that situation I would have to say milk chocolate but only Cadbury's milk because Cadbury's dark chocolate is better than Nestles milk chocolate.

Best Bond: Sean Connery.
Top of Christmas tree: a star.
Best chocolate: Cadbury's Dairy Milk.
Best Monopoly playing piece: the correct answer is the little car, but due to some oversight it wasn't included in the list. Obviously they've got Edexcel writing this quiz.
Order of cream tea construction: cream, then jam.
Pronunciation of flower receptacle: rhymes with Mars.
And which religion is right: none of them.

These questions were easy. You might as well ask "what's the first day of the week". Some people even get that wrong, though. Seriously, some people will look you right in the face and tell you the week starts on Sunday.

But the "Happy Days" theme tune stars with Sunday.

I'm with Phil on this one. I think it's a choice between milk, dark and white (yeah, right) and also the logical extension of these: the fourth type. Let me show you.

--------------Milk----No milk
Cocoa-------Milk----Dark
No Cocoa---White--The fourth type

(Milk chocolate wins anyway.)

I'm not sure how much that helps. The answer is "varz".

What list?

I want the fourth type.

If you go to answer the quiz in the link below the video, it takes you to a survey. If you fill that out, it asks the questions David Mitchell presented, and they're multiple-choice.

I see now. There is a list. (Thanks Graeme)

Where the hell did an R come from in the pronunciation of vase? I don't think I've ever heard that. Is it a British thing?

You don't make an R sound in "ar" (I don't anyway). "Vahz" if you prefer.

Ah yes. I've just said "we're going to Mars" in my best John Lennon voice and I understand now. We pronounce the R where I'm from. We also add a syllable to the word Film so it becomes Filum. I love that. Some people in Dublin even drink naturdle minurdle waater. Our pronunciation can be terdible at times.
