Dating apps were slower in 1966
Scott opened with a story from the Humber Estuary.
Two teenage girls had written messages looking for boys and put them in a bottle in 1966.
The notes were written shortly after England won the World Cup and invited boys around their age to write back, ideally with a photograph.
More than half a century later, the bottle had finally been found.
Scott and Chris were fascinated by how inefficient the method was compared with modern dating apps.
A swipe now takes seconds.
The girls’ approach had taken roughly 56 years to deliver the message.
Dean and Luke fooled nearly everybody
Brother or Lover introduced Dean and Luke, both from Northamptonshire.
Their answers sounded suspiciously couple-like.
They discussed gifts, personal-development messages, photographs and the fact one had posted things through the other’s letterbox.
Four members of the team decided they must be lovers.
Only one went for brothers.
The minority was right.
Dean and Luke were brothers and explained that all the apparently romantic clues had completely ordinary family explanations.
The reveal produced one of the strongest genuine surprises the game had managed.
Henry Hoover became a quiz prop
The quiz then attempted to use an actual Henry Hoover as part of a guessing game.
Contestants heard Henry vacuuming items from a desk and had to work out what had just disappeared, helped by clues.
The problem became obvious almost immediately.
A vacuum cleaner sounds much the same regardless of whether it is swallowing popcorn or something completely different.
Chris declared the concept fundamentally flawed.
Scott, naturally, thought that was a reason to find more things for Henry to do tomorrow.
