The Million Pound Drop (Series 3 Discussion Thread)

[GypsyGoth]

I don't know.

[Kerry]

Not a clue

[Kerry]

It's not Bob. His birthdays the same day as mine

[Matt]

Gone for Yoko Ono - Margaret is older and I would think Bob is younger

[Kerry]

How could they think Bob was 78?! :shocked:

[Kerry]

iPhone

[GypsyGoth]

I think the wii, I have one of them but no the others.

[Matt]

Aaah yay gadgets question! :D:D:D

100% sure the answer is Sky+

[Maia]

Sky+

[Kerry]

Oh poop

[GypsyGoth]

I'm happy for them :D

[Kerry]

Advert alert this question

[Kerry]

Timbuktu is

[GypsyGoth]

Xanadu is a song.

[Kerry]

And theres a song called Xanadu

So I'm going for the one I can't spell Ouagathingy

[Matt]

Xanadu is a song.

Yup, pretty sure it's that

Finding tonight's questions rather easy, though I should thank Harps and Avvy for picking gadgets ;)

[Kerry]

Oh I thought they might have been singing about a place :laugh2:

:love:

[Kerry]

OMG impossible!

[GypsyGoth]

I'll guess hello :D

[Kerry]

Hello

[Stacey.]

Goodbye.

[Kerry]

I actually just screamed :laugh:

[Matt]

Complete guess on this one - goodbye

[GypsyGoth]

I say hello and you say goodbye.

[Kerry]

Thought he was a bit selfish then tbh. Better hope he's right

[GypsyGoth]

Yess!!!!

[Kerry]

Phew!

[Kerry]

Awwww bless her

[Matt]

Nice to have another winner, especially when the odds were against them

[Shaun]

definitely thought it was Hello :laugh:

[GypsyGoth]

So far I've lost 3 Million :hugesmile:

[Kerry]

Got bloomin' hello/goodbye songs in my head now

[Kerry]

So far I've lost 3 Million :hugesmile:

:joker:

*strikes off MPD partner list*

[Shaun]

i have 19 songs with 'hello' in, 39 with 'goodbye'. oops.

[Matt]

Still got my starting million, though it's largely thanks to me guessing the right answer there!

[Kerry]

Acne I assume but only cos they said :joker:

[Kerry]

*Wonders if they only make spotty clothes*

[Matt]

Acne I assume but only cos they said :joker:

Out of those four it seems the most obvious brand name so that's what I've gone for... fashion isn't really an area of expertise for me ;)

[GypsyGoth]

*Wonders if they only make spotty clothes*

:laugh:

[Matt]

Does anyone else find that as you progress further with one million on the online game, you become more reluctant to split it? I hate the idea of parting with my starting million :laugh2:

[GypsyGoth]

I don't cheat Davina!!!

[GypsyGoth]

Does anyone else find that as you progress further with one million on the online game, you become more reluctant to split it? I hate the idea of parting with my starting million :laugh2:

I hate splitting anyway, I always bet a million :D

[GypsyGoth]

These are a good looking couple.

[Kerry]

Oh no, I don't think Flamingos can.......

[Matt]

Gone with them on this one - Dan seems pretty sure and I don't know if the Kiwi bird can fly or not

[Kerry]

Flamingo Land has bollocks info up in their park

[GypsyGoth]

:eek:

[Matt]

Going for China on this one 'cos it's furthest east on a map of the world - trying to think timezones

[Kerry]

:eek:

Oh I think I worded that wrong :shocked: :laugh2:

[Stacey.]

Where's Harry when you need him!?

[Shaun]

it's Vogue...

[GypsyGoth]

We need Harry.

[Shaun]

oh dear, they're going to lose everything.

[Kerry]

Harreeeeeeeee

[Kerry]

it's Vogue...

Thats what I thought

[GypsyGoth]

I hope they're not out, I liked them.

[Shaun]

definitely Vogue. I think :o

[Kerry]

Isn't Vogue about 90/91? Cruel

[Matt]

****, I put all my money on American Pie thinking Vogue was very late 80's

[Shaun]

yep, 1990 I think

[Shaun]

American Pie is 2001

[Kerry]

American Pie is 'relatively' recent

[Kerry]

They be gonners :(

[Matt]

American Pie is 2001

Yeah I just realised that... I thought that was closest to the 90s so that's what I went for

Oh well, I've never been that clued up on Madonna songs :eek:

[Shaun]

-hates American Pie-

Don McClean >

[Shaun]

poor guys.

[GypsyGoth]

These look smart.

[Shaun]

[Kerry]

E.t :)

[Shaun]

[Kerry]

Nooooooooooo daughter

Stoopid

[GypsyGoth]

That daughter is mad.

[Kerry]

£100k in the bin

[GypsyGoth]

That should come out of her share of the winnings.

[Kerry]

Ground her

[Shaun]

LOL @ you two

[Kerry]

Keith Chegwins a joke

[Shaun]

Keith Chegwin. Ed Byrne got an argument with him.

[Shaun]

Oh god...

as if Stephen would stoop that low :mad:

[Shaun]

idiots :bored: i hope they die

[Kerry]

I'm sure these two just think it's a laugh

[Matt]

Yeah, it's Keith Chegwin, I remember it

[Kerry]

I don't think Davina likes them

[Shaun]

racist bitch :bored:

[GypsyGoth]

idiots :bored: i hope they die

:laugh:

[Kerry]

racist bitch :bored:

Who? When? :shocked:

[Shaun]

re: your Davina comment :tongue:

[Kerry]

re: your Davina comment :tongue:

Oh. I'd watched the ads since I posted that :joker:

[Shaun]

McVities surely...

[Kerry]

Birds Eye (guess)

[Matt]

I think it's McVities - a relative of mine worked for them quite a while ago

[Kerry]

Oh mind you yes, Mc - Scottish. D'oh!

[Kerry]

It's gonna go off

[Niamh.]

soapstars

[Niamh.]

Nick berry

[Kerry]

Anita Dobson

[Matt]

Absolutely no bloody idea, I've given up :laugh:

[GypsyGoth]

[GypsyGoth]

I've lost another million, I'm going to be broke soon.

[Matt]

I've lost another million, I'm going to be broke soon.

How the hell would you do on the real thing? :P

Can't believe they're doing another question, it's supposed to end now! I can see them leaving the answer reveal until tomorrow...

[Kerry]

How the hell would you do on the real thing? :P

Can't believe they're doing another question, it's supposed to end now! I can see them leaving the answer reveal until tomorrow...

Better not

[Matt]

Gosh, that went awfully quick... anyone would think they were fed that answer :eek:

[Kerry]

Gosh, that went awfully quick... anyone would think they were fed that answer :eek:

Love it. You're as suspicious as I am :joker:

[Matt]

Love it. You're as suspicious as I am :joker:

:laugh2:

The producers probably squished at extra question in to reduce the chances of an over-run on tomorrow's show... but they were very quick in moving their money and stopping the clock!

[Matt]

A reminder that the final episode of the series is on tonight at the odd time of 9.10pm

40 minutes to go!

[Kerry]

The film on before it has gone off already! Dunno what they're gonna fill ten minutes with

[Matt]

The film on before it has gone off already! Dunno what they're gonna fill ten minutes with

What else but adverts? ;)

It'll probably start a couple of minutes early though

[GypsyGoth]

:bouncy:

[Kerry]

Sparkly Davina

[Kerry]

Hugh

[GypsyGoth]

Clooney.

[GypsyGoth]

I am sure it's Clooney.

[Kerry]

Lets go for Hugh Clooney

[Matt]

With Kerry on this one

[Kerry]

Though I think I heard George say he'd never get married. Though did he say 'again' at the end....

[Kerry]

Yay!!! :D

[GypsyGoth]

I just lost another million :cloud:

[Kerry]

I just lost another million :cloud:

I was just wondering if you had :joker:

[Matt]

I just lost another million :cloud:

Do you ever split? :P

[Kerry]

OMG this is gonna be impossible

[GypsyGoth]

Do you ever split? :P

:laugh: Nope

[Kerry]

Guess £5.63

[Shaun]

no idea.

[Matt]

:laugh: Nope

Haha, I'm the same - I find it hard to part with any of my money...

Gone for £5.93 on this one, I remember reading about it in the news fairly recently - think it was around £5.70/80 before

[Kerry]

Oh sh!ttery

[Shaun]

am thinking £5.93 might be a bit high

[Matt]

I thought it was a fairly recent change

Well done to them for making question 8, wasn't expecting it

[Shaun]

idk who Jane is.

[MTVN]

Oh I forgot about this

[Kerry]

Noooooooo idea

[Shaun]

Gene Hunt was in Life on Mars / Ashes to Ashes...he was relatively high.

[MTVN]

I think Gene Hunt was a DI, I'd say him

[GypsyGoth]

Jane

[Matt]

Absolutely no idea on this one - opted for Jane Tennison.

Didn't watch Ashes to Ashes and I *think* Jane is from Prime Suspect though I'm not 100% sure

[Kerry]

Break?

[Shaun]

according to Wiki they're both DCIs :conf2:

[Kerry]

according to Wiki they're both DCIs :conf2:

Might end up being another show where they can come back cos the researchers effed up

[MTVN]

And according to IMDB :/

[Kerry]

It's acheivED though. Did either get higher in the past?

[Kerry]

Wow, they did good!

[GypsyGoth]

Yay!!

[Matt]

On the Prime Suspect Wiki page it says: "In later series, she is promoted to Detective Superintendent."

Congrats to them!

[Kerry]

Comic Relief gets loads already

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Im playing online has the next question came up yet:xyxwave:

[GypsyGoth]

Storm.

[Shaun]

[seanraff07]

Not a clue about this one

[Kerry]

Storm

[Shaun]

LOL @ how quick that was.

[Kerry]

She looks like total mutton

[GypsyGoth]

:D

[Matt]

Bruno is surely up there with the most annoying contestants ever

[seanraff07]

Pulling out the dance moves..

[MTVN]

He reminds me of Gino who went on I'm a Celeb

[seanraff07]

Chanel

[Shaun]

Armani = male
Dolce & Gabbana = male
Chanel = Coco Chanel, female.
Idk what Kenzo is

[Kerry]

Chanel

[Matt]

Wow, a fashion question I actually know the answer to

[GypsyGoth]

They are doing great.

[Kerry]

Oh just drop 'em already

[MTVN]

I like this guy actually, although he'd probably piss me off in real life :laugh:

[Kerry]

I like this guy actually, although he'd probably piss me off in real life :laugh:

Yeah, small doses

[Matt]

****ing hell, that GoCompare advert :rolleyes:

Perhaps Bruno isn't as annoying as I thought

[Kerry]

Don't flap yer bingo wings silly bat

[seanraff07]

Is this the Bruno show?

[seanraff07]

Pick Hard men!

[Kerry]

Hard men :rolleyes:

[MTVN]

Chuck Norris I'd guess

[seanraff07]

Chuck Norris

[Matt]

Chuck Norris I'd guess

That's what I'm going for

[Kerry]

Chuck Norris

[Shaun]

fairly sure it's Van Damme, my mum's a big fan of all of them really

[GypsyGoth]

All on Chuck.

[Kerry]

All on Chuck.

You always bet all :laugh:

[Shaun]

[Kerry]

[GypsyGoth]

If he was that sure he should have put the million on it.

[MTVN]

Oh I didnt realise he was a celebrity :p

[Kerry]

Fruit

[Kerry]

Oh tittyballs

[Shaun]

a pound of flesh = Merchant of Venice

[MTVN]

No rest for the wicked I'd say

[GypsyGoth]

No rest for the wicked, maybe.

[Shaun]

all the world's a stage = As You Like It

[Kerry]

Not a Dickens

[MTVN]

I think the other one about the World being a stage might be the Tempest?

[Shaun]

it's definitely As You Like It or Midsummer Night's Dream - i read both at the same time :p

[Shaun]

I didn't have a clue about the Hamlet phrase, I only remembered it from an episode of Peep Show LOL

[MTVN]

it's definitely As You Like It or Midsummer Night's Dream - i read both at the same time :p

Oh right yeah, hadnt seen your other post :laugh:

[Shaun]

"there's nothing like Australia"

Edgar says:
*yes there is, new zealand
********Shaun********; says:
*rofl
*less floods in NZ too 2baha

[Shaun]

-hates both of them-

[seanraff07]

They're doing well

[seanraff07]

Slogans

[Kerry]

Because I'm worth it

[Shaun]

I'd say Maybellene. The other two I remember in the 90s

[seanraff07]

Because i'm worth it.... i can't remember the other two which maybe means they're older.

[GypsyGoth]

Changed to Maybe she's born with it.

[MTVN]

Split mine between the same two as them

[Kerry]

Ooops

[seanraff07]

Oh...

[Shaun]

I haven't seen such melodrama since Vanessa Feltz

[Kerry]

:shocked:

[MTVN]

:shocked:

[GypsyGoth]

:shocked: ****!

[seanraff07]

:shocked:

[Shaun]

:shocked:

[MTVN]

That was a bitch of a question

[Kerry]

LOL at us all :laugh:

[Shaun]

I wish they'd ask more general knowledge, less celebrity/fashion etc.

[Matt]

Oh dear. I honestly thought Hello Boys was older than Maybelline. Poor Bruno and Pamela :(

But how are they gonna fill the final 20 minutes of airtime when it's the last in the series? Will it overrun to 10.50pm-ish?

[Kerry]

They'd better be quick......

[MTVN]

Are they gonna run over or have to come back next series or something? :/

[Shaun]

Ohay Rachel from Glee.

[Kerry]

Must be horrible if they have someone on standby like them but they don't get to play

[seanraff07]

I prefer the random couples to the celebrity ones.

[Kerry]

Are they gonna run over or have to come back next series or something? :/

Would be awful to make them wait weeks

[MTVN]

Ohay Rachel from Glee.

They do look really similar actually :laugh:

[seanraff07]

When is the next series?

[GypsyGoth]

Bilabong

[MTVN]

Must be Billabong

[Kerry]

Billabong

[GypsyGoth]

I slept in a yurt, it's a turkish tent.

[seanraff07]

Billabong

[MTVN]

Dont split it :bored:

[Matt]

When is the next series?

Not confirmed yet, but I believe Channel 4 has commissioned it until 2012 so it's just a case of when they decide to schedule it for

[Shaun]

-shrug-

I've only heard of igloo :laugh:

[seanraff07]

Not confirmed yet, but I believe Channel 4 has commissioned it until 2012 so it's just a case of when they decide to schedule it for

Ah ok, thanks

[Kerry]

Isn't Billabong a place in Australia?

[MTVN]

Urgh.. why do another break when you're so pressed for time :bored:

[seanraff07]

They could keep closer to being on schedule if they just didn't bother with these adverts.:bored:

[Kerry]

They'll leave them stewing for weeks :(

[RichardWells]

They got it right, i checked on wikipedia lol

[GypsyGoth]

New Business?

[seanraff07]

The producers will breathe a sigh of relief if police is the wrong answer :laugh:

[seanraff07]

They aren't doing very well!

[Shaun]

[seanraff07]

LOL she thought it was only 2 falling at first :laugh:

[MTVN]
